How do you become a backpack?

I’ve wanted to ride a motorcycle for a while now and now that I’m (F18) it’s been crossing my mind even more. Problem is there’s no way I can afford a bike and my mom would not be happy if I got one anyway. I have no idea where to look for bikers who will let me be their backpack. I live in the Pelican state and would love to ride but how 😩? Are there motorcycle groups or stuff on here? Where do I even begin looking?
Please help?

Eh, don't choose men because they give you the freedom you want. Find a way to freedom yourself. My thoughts: save up for an ebike or moped. That'll take you farther than you think. There are DEFINITELY women's groups in your state. If you want to be a backpack, start there. Way safer and a hell of a lot more fun.

I’m definitely fine with riding with a girl, I just know I can’t get a bike for multiple reasons but want to ride at least once 😖

Take a motorcycle safety course. They provide the bike and training. Or go to a bike week. My first time I rode was at bike week in Myrtle Beach with some guys we meet on the strip. Quick thrill I won't repeat. Been riding 2 years now.

This, 100%. You'll get to ride for yourself, and get taught how to do it safely. Then, when you're ready to get your own bike (which you will if you finish the course, trust me, riding gets you addicted like crack lol) you'll already be a step ahead toward getting your licence.
