Louisa Swaden is a writer, speaker, and lifelong questioner known as The Existential Biker. A former corporate executive, she swapped boardrooms for backroads to become a motorcycling tour guide, land speed racer, and student of Stoic philosophy. She’s one of the few women to race at Bonneville Salt Flats, holds a Pendine Sands land speed record, and earned membership in the exclusive 200mph Club. In The Stoic Rider, Louisa blends ancient wisdom with hard-won experience to explore what it means to live well — on and off the bike. Her work speaks to anyone wrestling with fear, failure, or the weight of modern life, offering clarity and courage for the ride ahead. When she’s not riding, she’s probably writing, powerlifting, or walking her dog somewhere quiet — always listening for the next question worth following. Louisa speaks at international events on philosophy, motorcycling, and courage — including The Overland Event in the UK, Horizons Unlimited California, and WIMA’s 75th Anniversary in Portland, Maine.
