This is the 30th anniversary of the ride to promote the role of motorcycles as an option in the daily commute.  This event originated in the United States but quickly grew into an international event.

By riding to work we demonstrate:

  • The number of motorcyclists to the general public and to politicians.
  • That motorcyclists are from all occupations and all walks of life.
  • That motorcyclists can reduce traffic and parking congestion in large cities.
  • That motorcycles are for transportation as well as recreation.

Some may ask, as we are still in the era of Covid and a large number of folks are still working from home, how can I participate without a commute?  Do as I am going to do….. Ride for 30 minutes before you start your home office workday!

Maybe I should ride for 30 minutes everyday before work?????

RIDE ON, RIDE SAFE

The 28th annual International Ride Your Motorcycle to Work day is fast approaching.

The goals of this event are:

A day of rider unity.

     Highlight the positive aspects of motorcycling

     Arouse the curiosity of coworkers as they see a lot of motorcycles in the parking lot.

    Allows us to bring up important motorcycling related items such as distracted driving, E15 fuel, lane splitting, etc..

This event is always the third Monday in June!
