Alaskan Coalition of Motorcycle Riders, ABATE of Alaska and the Bike Blessing spread the message of biker safety throughout the year. In most parts of Alaska, May is the first month people can go for a ride after locking up their motorcycles for the winter months. Drivers of cars and trucks, after spending the winter months without seeing motorcycles on the roads, are sometimes slow to react to the sudden appearance of motorcycles on the roadways in spring. That is why the month of May has been designated Motorcycle Awareness Month by Gov. Sean Parnell. The Coalition rides to Seward in August and then to Fairbanks in September to spread motorcycle safety awareness.
