In
recognition of Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month throughout the month of May, CycleTrader.com, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation
and Bell Helmets have come together to encourage all riders to pledge to be
safer on the road.
Motorcycle
owners are encouraged to read the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s “Seriously
Safe Top 10” tips for being a responsible rider. Visitors can review the guidelines and take the pledge HERE. Among the suggestions are to get
licensed, take formal training classes and do not drink and ride.
“More than 3.5
million people will visit CycleTrader.com this May as they shop for their next
motorcycle,” said Christine Knapp, partnership & marketing manager for
CycleTrader.com. “Through this
promotion, we can help disseminate information about motorcycle safety to
millions of people. We hope more riders
choose to be safer on the road this year as a result.”
Pledges can be made throughout the month of May by visiting
CycleTrader.com, reading the safety tips and entering an email address
at the bottom of the page. By “making the pledge” to follow the top ten
safety tips, registrants will be entered in an exclusive drawing to win a
Qualifier DLX helmet, donated by Bell. The Qualifier DLX retails
for $229.95 and features a Transitions® Photochromic Shield that
automatically adapts to light conditions ($119.95 Retail Value) and accommodates both the Sena SMH10 and
Cardo Scala Rider Q1/Q3 Bluetooth® stereo headset intercom systems
(Not Included).
Based upon
2011 motorcycle crash data, the Department of Transportation’s National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates the lives of 1,617 riders were
saved by wearing a helmet. In 2012, helmets saved the lives of 1,699 riders. “If all motorcyclists had worn helmets, an additional
781 lives could have been saved,” according to the NHTSA. This month’s campaign
encourages all motorcyclists to pledge to wear a helmet while riding.
