Many years ago, I was turned away from a motel near Rocky Mountain House Alberta, because I was on a motorcycle.
Then and there I determined I never wanted another rider to ever feel the way I had that day, especially a visitor to my country, or any country for that matter. The Rider Friendly Business Association® and it's digital directory is the result of that day. Meant to help you find a great rider owned/friendly businesses or specific business like motorcycle repair shops to serve your needs when at home or on the road.
If we riders support each other, we all benefit!
So, here's a quick run down on the program for the rider.
Social
