About WIMA Mexico
WIMA Mexico was founded in 2020 by Angélica Garduño and is the first division in Central America. This is what she says about WIMA and why she wanted to join:
‘WIMA, for us, is old and strong, like a wise grandma. It’s a representation of a global movement that speaks of unity and value among women.
We definitely benefit as women bikers from being a part of WIMA, because it contributes to projecting the loud message that women are independent and free to choose whatever lifestyle we want and that we are not weak or wrong, and most important of all… we are many and not alone.’
Angélica and the founding members of WIMA Mexico are all part of the club Ninfas Guerreras, which was founded in 2004. Back then, there were only mens Moto Clubs in Mexico and therefore we’re very proud of having founded our own club – it was a big deal, since at that time there was a lot of sexism in Mexican motorcycling.
Our MC was the second MC nationwide for women only, based in Guadalajara but with representation in several states in Mexico. After a decade, more and more women’s motorcycle clubs began to spring up across the country. Nowadays, it is great to see that there are many women, not only riding motorcycles for recreation, but at levels of competition in speed motorcycling, enduro and 4×4.
Ninfas Guerreras is an MC with history, where at the beginning we faced segregation for having created it, prejudice and social criticism and where we were mugged and insulted for doing what we wanted to do – ie ride motorcycles. We are proud to have been among the first in Mexico to start a women’s MC, and we recognise the courage and strength of the women who started before us, as in the USA in 1950, I can only imagine to a certain extent what they had to overcome, the criticism, the prejudice, the insults, but I know that what I imagine is insufficient for the courage of the women who have paved the way for all of us today to have international rallies and a WIMA WORLD association.
The main activities organised by WIMA Mexico are touring and ride outs. We travel to other cities on weekends and ride while enjoying our motorcycles, our freedom and our friends. We also participate in events; in Mexico there are many very beautiful cities, and the tours are never boring.
We welcome all women that want to belong, share their experience and create a strong network of friends who share the same hobby all over the world.
We believe a woman is an amazing being and women together reach for the impossible. Our motto is: Mujer motociclista, mujer sin fronteras which means woman motorcyclist, woman without borders.
