Solo female riders get together in Mozambique. Two-up FUN ride in Maputo! – EP. 147
EDITORIAL SUMMARY

About this film
Part of the Africa, Round The World series, the film follows a get-together between the creator of OnHerBike and Henriette, known as For the Love of Wheels. The two had been social media buddies before finally meeting in Mozambique. The episode sits within the creator’s solo journey around the world, which began in April 2017 when she left Australia on a BMW F800GS. She named the trip “Are We There Yet?” because its destination and duration were open-ended. That broader travel context frames the Maputo meeting as one episode along an ongoing motorcycle journey.
The journey
The gathering takes place in Maputo over a few days, with the city providing the setting for the pair’s long-awaited meeting. The central riding sequence is a two-up trip around town. The description singles it out as the highlight of the visit, placing shared time on the motorcycle alongside the reunion itself. The focus is on this local ride and the connection between two riders whose acquaintance had previously been online, rather than on a longer route through Mozambique.
What to expect
- A meeting between OnHerBike and Henriette in Maputo
