Largest
Ever
Annual
Motorcycle
and
Scooter
Ride
To
Work
Day
Expected
Wednesday,
July
16,
2008.
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.
According
to
the
United
States
Census
Bureau
and
the
Department
of
Transportation,
over
eighty
million
cars
and
light
trucks
are
used
for
daily
commuting
on
American
roads,
and
about
200,000
motorcycles
and
scooters
are
a
regular
part
of
this
mix.
On
Ride
To
Work
Day,
the
practical
side
of
riding
becomes
more
visible
as
a
larger
number
of
America's
8,000,000
cycles
are
ridden
to
work.
Ride
to
Work
Day
helps
demonstrate
how
these
vehicles
make
parking
easier
and
help
traffic
flow
better.
Studies
have
shown
that
across
equal
distances,
commuting
motorcyclists
reach
their
destinations
in
less
time
than
those
using
automobiles,
that
motorcycles
and
scooters
consume
less
resources
per
mile
than
automobiles,
and
that
they
take
up
less
space
on
roads.
Motorcycle
and
scooter
riders
seek
improved
employer
recognition
and
support
for
this
form
of
transportation,
and
more
public
and
government
awareness
of
the
positive
value
of
riding.
