The slang phrase "ride or die", based on motorcycle culture, is a philosophy which also has a metaphorical application.

"Ride or die" (comparable to "live free or die") means a dedication to the culture rather than to personal convenience. It can be an expression of kindred dedication ("Ride or die, brother.") or a challenge ("You have to decide if you are going to ride or die."). The phrase is not (as it might appear) used as any kind of threat.

Metaphorically, it is used for any dedication or commitment. ("He will ride or die with that plan.") It can also be used to indicate a dedicated individual. ("ride or die type").
