Proctor, MN - In the United States there are about 90 million daily commuters using private vehicles and only 135,000
of these are using motorcycles. Yet there are 7 million motorcycles in the USA. If only one million of them...one of seven...are ridden on Ride To Work Day, everyone in traffic will see around ten times as many bikes as on any other day. This would change public awareness about riding
and demonstrate the positive values of motorcycling.
This year’s 12th annual event is Wednesday, July 16th. (It is always on the 3rd Wednesday in July.) Ride To Work Day is a unique, positive demonstration of motorcyclings potential. Transportation riding helps relieve urban congestion, creates additional parking spaces, saves energy and benefits participants and society in many other ways. Nothing puts motorcycling into the fabric of everyday
life like Ride To Work Day.
A new Ride To Work website is open at www.ridetowork.org. The website was re-designed to make it easier to use.
