    Re: Ride for Safety 2014 powered by Wheelieboy

    Hello Folks,

    Sorry for Late reply.

    Guys lets clear few things before coming to any conclusion...

    1) This is not a SBK showoff Event (we allow SBKs to Scooters to participate and share same platform).

    2) Every Year we do college events and promote the importance of Helmet and Gear.

    3) We invite Celebs as they can reach the Mass.

The more practical solution would be to open an NGO or a group consisting of enthusiastic like minded bikers, associate with traffic police n media houses, go to schools and colleges, corporate houses, near by and promote safe riding. Alternatively, use social media to reach out to the young n old alike. Spread the word. Encourage our near and dear one's to pick up the habit of riding safe, others would follow likely.

      Sorry to say but a parade of bikes with riders wearing 'riding gear' is nothing more than an eye candy to the public. A celebrity endorsing the event is to get the media in. But are these really helping to make our roads a safer place? I am afraid but the answer is no.
      If you really want to make a difference, will suggest that each and everyone of us take up one - just one person everyday who we see breaking the traffic rules or not wearing a helmet. Stop him on the road side. Talk to him for a couple of minutes. Convince him for wearing a helmet/ obeying traffic rules.
      Better still, you can do this while standing at a traffic light waiting for the green signal.
      If each one of us can try doing this to one person everyday, I am sure our roads would be a safer place to ride on.
      There is no better therapy than riding a bike down a straight road at full throttle with the sound of the engine for company.
