Monday, June 16, 2014 is Ride Your Motorcycle to Work Day.
Ride your motorcycle or scooter on this day to demonstrate:
- The number of motorcyclists to the general public and to politicians.
- That motorcyclists are from all occupations and all walks of life.
- That motorcyclists can reduce traffic and parking congestion.
- That motorcycles are for transportation as well as recreation.
The first Ride to Work Day was July 22, 1992. For several years various motorcycle businesses informally promoted every third Wednesday in July as Ride to Work Day. The event continued to grow every year until 2000. That year a non-profit organization, Ride to Work was formed to help organize and promote Ride to Work Day. The first Ride to Work Day event led by this group was the third Wednesday in July of 2001. This day was the annual day until 2008, when it was changed to the third Monday in June to climatically better accommodate riders world-wide.
