May rolls around, the roads warm up, and suddenly the bikes are out again. You hear them before you see them — that low rumble coming up behind you, or weaving through traffic on a Saturday afternoon. It’s a good sound. It means spring is here.

May is also Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. Most of the attention goes to riders, and rightly so. But if you drive a car, this month is just as much for you — maybe more so. 

Here’s why:

I would like to publicly thank Nick and Lisa, strangers who came to my aid after a fall on the Los Conchas Trail on Monday, May 11.
