Live Free Ride Alive Motorcycle Program Appearing at Lansdale Bike Night

9/6/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

As part of the Wolf Administration's emphasis on highway safety, Live Free
Ride
Alive (LFRA), PennDOT's comprehensive motorcycle safety program, will
sponsor a
booth at Lansdale Bike Night in Lansdale Borough, Montgomery County, on
Saturday, September 9. The program is aimed at reducing the number of
motorcycle crashes and fatalities on Pennsylvania roadways through
education
and interaction among riders.

Riders at the event can access the program's interactive website designed
specifically for motorcyclists, www.LiveFreeRideAlive.com, at the LFRA
booth.
The website challenges riders to accept personal responsibility for their
own
safety. Important messages include obeying the speed limit and not drinking
and
riding. The website also emphasizes the importance of being properly
licensed
to operate a motorcycle and encourages the use of protective gear.

The website also features short videos explaining the free courses
available
for all riders through the Pennsylvania Motorcycle Safety Program.

Website users can also share their riding experiences and lessons about
what
they've learned about riding. Riders can take the "Be One Less" pledge,
promising to strive to be "one less" crash statistic in honor of
motorcyclists
who have been injured or killed in crashes.
