Close to 50 women riders gathered at Didi Garage in Gillman Barracks for an International Women’s Day programme centred on riding confidence, road safety awareness, and community support.

On 7 March 2026, an International Women’s Day gathering for women riders took place at Didi Garage at Gillman Barracks. The programme was conceptualized and curated by LUI, which collaborated with external stakeholders and industry partners to support the initiative.

1. Building Confidence Through Practical Riding
An introduction to safety riding skills in a supportive environment beyond the traditional driving school setting.

A key highlight of the morning was the Safety Riding Session facilitated by LUI, supported by its Trusted Advisor Sani. For many participants, it was their first experience practising safety riding skills outside of the three main driving centres, offering riders an opportunity to revisit fundamentals and build confidence in a supportive environment.

2. Industry and Road Safety Collaboration
Industry partners and road safety advocates coming together to share knowledge and strengthen responsible riding practices.
Didi Garage, our venue sponsor, also shared an overview of the motorcycles and services available to the riding community.
The programme also featured an engaging road safety awareness session by the Traffic Police, Road Safety Branch, the event’s road safety collaborator, where participants gained useful insights into defensive riding and road awareness.

3. Community Connection
A shared space for riders to connect, reflect, and build a stronger culture of safe and confident riding.

The morning concluded with lunch at Handlebar, our event partner, where riders connected and reflected on the morning’s learning. Participants also received goodie bags sponsored by Didi Garage and the Traffic Police.

The collaboration between Didi Garage, the Traffic Police Road Safety Branch, Handlebar, and LUI reflects a shared commitment to supporting women riders and promoting safer roads. Initiatives such as these demonstrate how collaboration between community advocates, industry partners, and road safety stakeholders can create meaningful opportunities for riders to build confidence and strengthen a culture of safe riding.

LUI Women Basic Motorcycle Maintenance Workshop

An Education-Led Initiative by LUI

On 14 February 2026, LUI conducted its first All-Women Basic Motorcycle Maintenance Workshop as a pilot session, laying the groundwork to extend this initiative to more women riders moving forward.

Anchored in our Progressive Learning philosophy — the same framework behind our 5-pax Women Safety Riding Course — the workshop was intentionally paced to help participants absorb knowledge step by step, rather than being overwhelmed by a large volume of technical information at once.

The focus was on structured knowledge acquisition. Mechanical concepts were translated into practical, rider-friendly language, enabling participants to understand tyre wear percentages, identify brake pad conditions, recognise servicing indicators, and experience guided hands-on puncture patching demonstrations.

A key pillar of the session was instructional delivery. The workshop was facilitated by Sani, whose extensive experience in imparting riding skills to learners — particularly women riders — ensured that technical content was communicated with clarity and relatability. He also contributed to structuring the session flow to maximise understanding and retention.

Conceptualised & structured by LUI, this session was conducted in collaboration with Atan Motor Supply Pte Ltd, our partner for this initiative, who provided the workshop venue, mechanical expertise, visual reference charts, and technical demonstration support to enhance applied learning.

Through this initiative, LUI continues to build a structured and confidence-driven learning ecosystem — empowering women riders not only in riding technique, but also in ownership literacy and informed communication during servicing.

5-pax Safety Riding Course

Repetitive fundamentals + Sound pedagogy   –> Real Confidence

Why Pedagogy Matters in Confidence Riding for Women

We are moving towards offering women riders confidence riding through safety riding — not by pushing limits, but by rebuilding trust through fundamentals, practiced repeatedly in a safe, supported environment.

At the heart of this approach is pedagogy — how riding is taught, not just what is taught.

You Are Not Alone …

If U-turns make you nervous…If slow riding feels harder than fast riding…
Many women riders feel this — even after getting their license. And it doesn’t mean you’re bad at riding.

Confidence Riding, Taught Properly

We help women riders rebuild confidence through safety riding grounded in sound pedagogy — with guided, repeated practice of fundamentals in a safe environment.

Why Pedagogy Matters

Pedagogy allows instructors to identify your stress points and teach what you need, not what they prefer to show. This is how calm, real confidence is built.

Beyond the Pylons

There are no pylons on the road.
Pylons are tools — what matters is you: your balance, coordination, understanding, and calm control.

We partner with Team Mari (Japan) to offer women riders access to Japanese-style safety riding programmes, delivered in Singapore (including our September 2025 session), with plans to extend these learning experiences to Japan.
