Motorcycle Month Brings Out Riders

"Tar snakes," "autocycles" and lane sharing are three items on the list of concerns for Idaho's motorcyclists this year. May is Motorcycle Awareness Month, which commences the motorcycle riding season in Idaho and brings safety to the forefront as motorcyclists and drivers once again share the road. "You haven't seen us all winter, and here we are," said Dave Cazel, the Idaho representative of the Motorcycle Riders Foundation and member of ABATE (American Bikers Aiming Toward Education) of North Idaho. "We're back, this is riding season -- there's going to be more motorcycles on the road." Cazel recently coordinated the 14th annual Motorcycle Awareness Rally and Parade, where motorcyclists and bikes of all makes and models were present to ride and raise awareness for motorcycle safety/Devin Heilman, Coeur d'Alene Press.
