The mayor’s decision to limit the ring road speed to 31 mph might sound like a small tweak, but for riders, it’s a wrench in the gears.

A New Helmet Study Shows Helmets (and Helmet Laws) Work

It’s been said a thousand times: helmets save lives. You know it, I know it, and apparently, we still need to talk about it.

A new helmet study ran the numbers on how many motorcyclists could’ve been saved between 1976 and 2022 if every state had universal helmet laws. The answer? A staggering 22,058 riders. That’s right—22,000 people who might still be with us if helmets had been required. It’s not exactly groundbreaking, but it’s a hard truth we can’t ignore.
