Motorcycle and Scooter Ride to Work Day is this coming Monday, June 15

Motorcycle and scooter riders’ 18th annual commuting day is this coming Monday, June 15th. Participation is estimated to triple the number of riders on the road. Motorcycle and scooter groups and organizations actively encourage riders to commute by cycle on this day.
Two wheeled commuters of all ages, and from all walks of life seek employer support for this form of transportation and increased public and government awareness of the positive value of riding.
More motorcycles and scooters in the mix of vehicles makes urban parking easier and traffic flow better, according to Ride to Work, a non-profit advocacy organization. Studies have also shown that across the same distances, the average cycle or scooter rider will reach their destinations in less time than automobile drivers. Many motorcycles and scooters also consume less resources per mile than automobiles.
“Riding to work on this day is fun and shows the positive value of motorcycling. For many people, riding is a socially responsible form of mobility that saves energy, helps the environment and provides a broad range of other public benefits,” stated Andy Goldfine, this year’s event organizer.

New Law Affects Scooter Drivers
July 1, 2008 by Hersey · Leave a Comment
Many people are trading in their car keys and hopping on scooters to save money on gas.
But starting Tuesday, many scooter drivers will have to follow the same laws that apply to motorcycle riders. The big change has to do with speed and not engine size, which is how it is on the law books now.
July 1st, if your scooter goes more than 35 miles an hour, you have to obey the same rules as any motorcycle driver.
“In 2007, we sold approximately 50 scooters. In May 2008, we sold 50 scooters,” says Chelsea Lahmer, owner of Scoot Richmond.

Largest Ever Annual Motorcycle and Scooter Ride To Work Day Expected Wednesday, July 16, 2008
This year’s 17th Annual Ride To Work Day is just a month away. The recent rise in gas prices have caused many commuters to turn to motorcycles and scooters to save money on transportation, and they are finding them to be an economical, efficient and enjoyable way to get to work and around town. Because of high world-wide gasoline prices, this is expected to be the largest RTW day ever, in terms of numbers of participants.
