Big Bear Choppers: "Ride to Work" Day Serves as Important Safety Reminder
Earlier in June, a Nationwide "Ride to Work" Day Reminded Drivers and Motorcyclists to Make Smart Choices While Riding; Motorcycle Specialists at Big Bear Choppers Back These Suggestions and Encourage Safety All Year Long
(firmenpresse) - SAN BERNARDINO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/03/12 -- June 18th, 2012 marked the 21st Annual "Ride to Work" Day for motorcycle enthusiasts all over America. While the event is designed to serve as a united front for motorcyclists to have fun and show off, reports also show that rider traffic all over the nation increased into over a million participants. A recent from The Boston Globe discusses the event and reminds riders all over the country to practice safe procedures while experiencing the open-air amusement of motorcycle transportation. Big Bear Choppers, a California-based motorcycle manufacturer, is glad to see such high numbers of proud motorcyclists, but agrees that proper precautions must always be taken when hitting the road on two wheels.
According to The Boston Globe, the 21st Annual "Ride to Work" day "is an opportunity for riders to showcase motorcycles as a travel alternative to and from work." For many riders, it is also a chance to highlight the benefits of the minimalistic vehicle. The Department of Transportation recognizes the lessened environmental impact associated with motorcycle use as they "consume less fuel, produce fewer carbon emissions and ease congestion by taking up less space."
Kevin Alsop, founder of , comments on the connection between motorcyclists and work, noting that the two ideas are not ones that always go together. He notes, "Big Bear Choppers staff often ride motorcycles to work to save money on gas and because it is more fun than riding in a car. The 'Ride to Work' day is an incredible opportunity to show that not only do bikers love to ride, we have a job too!"
While many may be focused on the pros of motorcycle use, it is very important for riders to always abide by proper safety requirements as to avoid injury to themselves and others while on the road. Riding a motorcycle requires proper training and licensing in many states, and unprepared motorcyclists should never enter traffic without knowledge of rider safety. The article reminds riders to "obey traffic laws, wear helmets, bright colors and other protective gear and use reflective tape."
Additionally, motorcyclists are not the only commuters who need to stay aware of proper procedures; drivers should also stay aware of riders and provide an extra distance between the motorcycle and car. Motorists are expected to double check blind spots to ensure that a motorcyclist is not in his or her way.
Once these concerns are addressed, believes the road can be a fun place for motorcyclists and drivers alike. Before the event took place, Alsop noted, "We hope to see all of the Big Bear Choppers family out there enjoying the day and doing our part to lower the carbon emissions. Be green and live to ride!"
