According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the second Tuesday in June each year is the annual motorcycle and scooter “Ride to Work Day.” This event piques the interest of several of us here at Answer Financial who ride motorcycles.
The first “Ride to Work Day” was inspired by “Work to Ride – Ride to Work’” marketing materials created between 1989 and 1991 by the Aero Design and Manufacturing Company, a Minnesota based manufacturer of motorcycle riders clothing.2
In 1992 these items inspired motorcycle magazine editor Fred Rau to write an editorial calling for a National Ride to Work Day.
Here are a few reasons why so many motorcyclists are banding together for this event:
- The ride raises awareness of the number of motorcyclists to the general public.
- Motorcyclists are from all walks of life and are in all occupations.
- Motorcyclists can reduce traffic and parking congestion in large cities. Here in Los Angeles, a city known for its heavy traffic, we embrace this one!
- Motorcycles exist for transportation, as well as recreation.
