What happens when you put two passionate motorcyclists together, give them microphones, and let the conversation flow? You get a cracking episode of the Driven to Ride podcast, with our very own Andrew Richardson as the guest.
Hosted by Mark Long — a fellow bike enthusiast with a knack for uncovering the best stories — Driven to Ride is all about sharing the adventures, insights, and passion of motorcyclists from all walks of life. This time, the spotlight was on Andrew, and the result was a mix of personal stories and behind-the-scenes insights into REALRIDER®.
From Idea to Reality: The Story of REALRIDER®
In this episode, Andrew walks Mark through how REALRIDER® came to be — from the early days of an idea, to building the tech, to becoming the crash detection and safety app trusted by riders around the world.
It wasn’t all about business, though. Andrew and Mark swapped stories about their love of motorcycles and the moments that remind you why two wheels just feel different. It’s that shared passion for riding that sits at the heart of both the Driven to Ride podcast and what we do here at REALRIDER®.
