And I was like, OK, if I'm going to bike, I'm going to bike in these three days.

So I did a Facebook invitation inviting Yemeni women, come and join me for a ride bike.

But then the problem is, again, Yemen is not Amsterdam.

We don't have bikes.

I can't just, you know, I can't just go to the street and rent a bike.

So I was like, okay, around 100 girls, they signed up that they're going to attend this campaign.

So I started to call friends and family and everybody, neighbors, who's going to lend me their bikes.

So me and my friends, we gathered around five bikes, which is amazing.

So I remember that night, I was so nervous because I didn't know what to expect.

It's so dangerous.

Anybody could shoot us.

There is no government in presence at that time.

And to be honest, even if the government was there, they would never protect women.

But I was like, I have to do it.

So that morning came at 6 a.m., I woke up, I wrote on my Facebook, it's a revolutionary day.

And I hid the bikes at the backyard because I didn't tell my parents.

I was always the golden sheep in my family.

So I just hid them, and I took my dad's car, and I just shoved them inside, and I just went.

And then I chose this huge highway in Yemen.

And I knew it was dangerous, but I wanted us to be very visible for everybody.
