In The Place Beyond the Pines, the movie opens with a sharp breath of engine life, a fierce growl that pulls you in before a single word is spoken. And there, in the center of it all, Ryan Gosling’s character Luke Glanton rides through the screen on a motorcycle that’s as much a part of him as the tattoos on his skin.

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.
