Freedom
Riding a motorcycle means independence. Planning your own ride and setting your own pace. The freedom to go wherever you want.
About me
Hi, I'm Cara.
Solo, but never really alone.
BikingWithC started with my own search for a place in the motorcycle world. I had so many questions, doubts and plans, but nowhere could I find a safe place to ask them.
My first solo ride felt like coming home, but also a little like being lost. What I missed? Someone who understands what it’s like to ride alone. Someone to ask: Is this normal? Do you feel that too?
That’s why I started BikingWithC. I want to be that person for others.
My story
The road to BikingWithC
1
Riding pillion with my dad
It all started on the back of a motorcycle. My dad often took me along on his rides. Even then, always with a big smile.
No motorcycle yet, but already the love for anything on wheels.
2
Willing, but not quite brave enough yet
I deliberately waited until I turned 24. In Belgium, that means you can get your full motorcycle license in one go, instead of the staged route with several exams spread over the years. I also wanted to be sure it wasn’t just a passing phase: getting a license and then never using it would’ve been an expensive mistake.
Step by step, on the way to that license.

License? Check!
Third time’s the charm for the exam manoeuvres. Soon after came the first rides through the Ardennes with my parents.

My first solo ride, further from home
No back-up, no “can everyone keep up?”. The first day was pouring rain, but from day two the weather completely turned around. From then on I was hooked: mountain passes, small stops, breathtaking views and a feeling of pure freedom.

The starting blocks of BikingWithC
What I missed on the road was a place where you’re allowed to doubt and try: no perfection, just honesty. So I decided to build that place myself.
