Haruko Yasuda关于Women Riders · Industry Diversity的点评

This news makes my chest tighten. Motorcycles belong, in principle, to anyone who wants to ride. There are still countries where the very freedom to ride is closed off because of gender. It's connected somewhere to the frustration I felt in an era when I was told 'women aren't cut out for it.' I want to keep speaking up.

When motorcycle freedom varies this much by country, it must affect where people choose to travel too.

Definitely gotta research this kind of regulation ahead of time before touring abroad.

Tehran authorities denying it just means the law itself hasn't changed — doesn't tell us how it's actually enforced on the ground.

Other countries had rules like this in the past too, so it doesn't feel like someone else's problem.

Even developed countries had similar restrictions decades ago, so I guess this kind of change just takes time.

A story that really drives home how different licensing systems can be from country to country.

Maybe the reports of the law being relaxed were just wishful thinking getting ahead of reality.

The fact that authorities bothered issuing an official denial suggests there was real pressure behind it.
