Eight years ago, I walked through the doors of United Ride as a rider and I just knew. This was something special. I never looked back.

At a time in my life when I needed support, connection, and purpose, this community showed up for me. And it’s never stopped. It became my safe place, my home away from home.

Now, Embia House is here. A dream built from everything we’ve shared over the years - the sweat, the joy, the challenges, and all the growth in between. I’m here to create the feeling of a home away from home, for others, that United Ride had created for me - but taking it to a new level and more personal than ever.

‘Em’ from ember - for warmth and fire.

‘Bia’ - the Greek goddess of strength.

A nod to my Greek-Egyptian roots, and the privilege I feel to move the way I do.

House represents you - our community. Loyal, vulnerable, bold, and present. You’ve trusted us with your journey, and now we finally have a home to honour that.

To our community - I welcome you to our home with open arms. Thank you for choosing us.

Welcome to our house. Where everyone is welcome.”
