The national 17th annual Ride to Work Day is scheduled for July 16, 2008. Rising fuel costs and the economic climate have placed renewed attention on motorcycles as an efficient and fun alternative to automobiles. A recent study by Allstate Insurance Company found that motorcyclists’ greatest concerns while riding were the drivers of cars. Other motorcyclists pose a lesser concern to riders.
Motorcyclists’ concerns while riding (stats from Allstate):
• Other drivers of cars - 82.6%
• Road conditions - 55.4%
• Traffic - 42.2%
• Trucks - 30.2%
• Other motorcyclists - 2.8%
