When can you ride a motorcycle after giving birth? That’s the question I kept asking—and today, I’m diving deep into what I learned through my own postpartum journey.
In this video, I cover:
• The key physical and mental factors that determine readiness
• How different types of birth (vaginal vs C-section) impact recovery
• The importance of core strength, medical clearance, and confidence
• Bike-specific tips for easing back into riding safely
• How breastfeeding and postpartum body changes affect the riding experience
• My personal experience on my first ride back—and what really surprised me!
This is real talk for mums who ride, and for anyone curious about life on two wheels after birth. Every recovery is unique, so this isn’t about hard rules—it’s about supporting women in making informed, empowered choices.
Have you returned to riding after giving birth? Share your experience in the comments—I’d love to hear from you!
