Look for more motorcycles and scooters this year on June eighteenth. It will be the twenty-first annual worldwide ‘Ride to Work Day’. An estimated one million riders become two-wheeled commuters to help demonstrate that riding is an efficient, economical and beneficial form of personal transportation. Participant-riders are of all ages, occupations and from all walks of life.
“Motorcycles & scooters consume less resources per mile than automobiles, and take up less space in parking areas & on roads. Riders seek employer and community support for this efficient form of transportation, and more government & public awareness about riding’s many benefits,” states Andy Goldfine, an event organizer. Over 100 American cities recognize Ride to Work Day by proclamation.
According to the Ride to Work non-profit organization, commuting showcases the positive value of motorcycles and scooters for transportation. For hundreds of thousands of workers, motorcycles and scooters are an economical, efficient and socially responsible form of mobility that saves energy, protects the environment and provides a broad range of other public benefits. Motorcycling and scootering clubs around the world encourage their members to ride to work, especially on this annual day.
