The AMA encourages all motorcyclists to commute to work on June 15, as part of International Motorcycle & Scooter Ride To Work Day, if participation falls within any remaining restrictions or guidelines associated with the coronavirus outbreak.

International Motorcycle & Scooter Ride To Work Day was inspired by the “Work to Ride – Ride to Work” marketing campaign by the Aero Design and Manufacturing Company, a Minnesota based manufacturer of motorcycle riders clothing, and was first proposed in a 1992 column in Road Rider magazine.

The intent of the annual event, according to the organizer’s website, is to highlight:

• 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 in large cities;

• That motorcycles are for transportation as well as recreation; and

• That motorcycling is a social good.

Ride to Work is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, all-volunteer effort. Organizers include Andy Goldfine, the recipient of the 2013 AMA Dud Perkins Lifetime Achievement Award, Lynn Wisneski and Christine Holt.
