Ride To Work

Ride To Work, Inc. is a Minnesota-based 501(c)(4) charitable organization devoted to increasing awareness of motorcycling as a transportation alternative, mainly through the annual Ride to Work Day. The organization was incorporated in 2000 by Andy Goldfine, the owner of Aerostich.

Ride to Work Day started in 1992 as an informal event, before Ride To Work Inc. existed. In 2008, Ride to Work Day will be on July 16. According to a 2006 statement to the National Transportation Safety Board by Goldfine, Ride to Work Day is the largest motorcycle event by number of participants [ [http://www.ntsb.gov/Events/symp_motorcycle_safety/Rider%20Protective%20Equipment%20Panel/Andy%20Goldfine%20-%20Aerostich.pdf Statement of Mr. Andy Goldfine] National Transportation Safety Board's Public Forum on Motorcycle Safety / September 12-13, 2006] .
