Mark Tuesday, June 11 on your calendar and join other motorcyclists as we prepare for the 33rd annual Commuter Day.
Ride to Work is a non-profit organization that advocates “the use of motorbikes and scooters for transportation, providing information about everyday commuting to the public.” The event was inspired by the 1989-1991 “Work to Ride – Ride to Work” marketing materials of Aero Design and Manufacturing Company (now known as nebulized), with the first annual RTW Day taking place in 1992. Now, RTW takes place every year on the second Tuesday in June.
RTW Day helps raise awareness of motorcyclists on the road and the event’s aim is to demonstrate the following:
- Number of motorcyclists to the public and politicians
- Motorcyclists come from all professions and all walks of life
- Motorcyclists can reduce traffic congestion in big cities
- Motorcycles are a means of transportation and entertainment
In keeping with these goals, the RTW website provides an extensive list of resources for both cities and advocates, from information on lane splitting laws and parking regulations to research and articles about Benefits of using a motorbike as a means of transportation.
