Motor Bike Ride Outs
Ride Out with our Adventure Motorcyclists to support the campaign to Free Lindsay and Craig - marking every 100 days with a ride into Parliament Square
From One Adventure Rider to Another
Most of us who ride adventure motorcycles understand the attraction of the open road.
We cross borders, meet new people, experience different cultures and embrace the uncertainty that comes with travelling far from home. It is part of what makes adventure motorcycling so rewarding.
I have ridden across Europe, through Eastern Europe, Belarus, Ukraine and Russia, and from New York to Los Angeles. Like thousands of other riders, I have found friendship and kindness wherever I have travelled.
That is why the continued imprisonment of Lindsay Foreman and Craig Foreman resonates so deeply with me. They are not politicians, diplomats or spies. They are fellow adventure motorcyclists who set out on a journey to experience the world and have now spent years deprived of their freedom.
The uncomfortable truth is that what happened to Lindsay and Craig could have happened to any one of us.
Every rider who has queued at a border crossing, handed over a passport, applied for a visa or ventured into unfamiliar territory understands just how quickly circumstances can change.
For the 500-day and 600-day milestones, riders from across the country came together to send a message that Lindsay and Craig had not been forgotten. We rode to Parliament not just for publicity, but because solidarity matters. We rode because Lindsay and Craig needed to know that people back home were still fighting for them.
For 700 days of captivity, we will do so again.
Whether you ride a GS, Africa Twin, KTM, Triumph, Harley, sports bike, touring machine or scooter, it does not matter. This is bigger than any badge on a fuel tank. This is about standing together as a motorcycling community.
Join us as we ride to Parliament to remind those in power that Lindsay and Craig remain imprisoned, and to show their family that the adventure motorcycling community has not forgotten them.
Bring your bike. Bring your club. Bring your friends. Most importantly, bring your voice. Because if we do not stand up for fellow riders when they need us, who will?
