Lahore. Lahore resident Zenith Irfan has become the first motor biker of Pakistan who has travelled the whole of Pakistan alone on a bike. 29 year old Zenith Irfan has been travelling alone on a bike for many years. A film named ‘Motorcycle Girl’ has also been made on her life.
Zeenat has been riding a bike since the age of 12. She has travelled alone across the country. Passed through storms. Be it rain or strong winds, she kept on moving. When she was just 20 years old, she covered Northern Pakistan alone on a bike. She also completed a trip of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir by bike. Today people salute her spirit. Zeenat was born in Sharjah, UAE, but she has been living in Pakistan since the age of 12. When Zeenat comes out on the roads on a bike in a black and grey riding jacket, people get happy to see her. They never get tired of praising her. Zeenat tells that it was her father’s dream to do a world tour on a bike. To fulfill his wish, she traveled on Honda-125, CD-70 and Suzuki GS-150. She also went to those places where it is not considered safe for girls to go.
Zenith has shared photos of crossing the river, with tribesmen and with truck drivers on Facebook, which have received thousands of likes. Zeenat keeps sharing her travel stories on social media. Her passion has soon made Zenith a national star. Zenith said, my mother is very liberal. It is from her that I got this strength. I have been riding a bike since the time when girls were kept in purdah in Pakistan. But this passion of mine changed the thinking of many people.
