Ride to work day use to be on the 3rd Monday in June. But, because of the new Untied States National Holiday of Juneteenth, the Ride to Work organization moved it to the second Tuesday of June.

Why the second Tuesday? “Because RTW Day is about riding to work (as well as for utility transportation), starting in 2024 RTW Day will annually be on the Second Tuesday in June. This day is chosen because A) it breaks up the workweek better than a Monday day does (RTW Day is a demonstration day), and B) because a midweek day is more likely to receive media coverage than a Monday or Friday.”

Why “Ride to Work” anyway? Ride your motorcycle on Ride To Work Day and demonstrate:
– The number of motorcyclists to the general public and politicians
– Motorcyclists are from all occupations and all walks of life
– Motorcyclists can reduce traffic congestion in large cities
– Motorcycles are for transportation as well as recreation

    Keep up the Great work on getting the word out. Everyone moves on thru their life and we sometimes forget the reasons and the good things we can do in showing others the love we have for motorcycles. People forget about momentary actions of kindness and goodwill as life pushes forward like it never happened, that is why we need to do our part on helping change, for the Positive. D

  2. Thanks, buddy! You are right especially when we have organizations, like Vision Zero, working very hard against us.
