With warmer weather, it’s time to remind everyone to be on the alert and to share the road with motorcyclists.
Both motorcyclists and motorists need to be aware of their surroundings. Checking blind spots, mirrors, and using turn signals are necessary when changing lanes and when passing. Distracted driving has been on the rise, too. Distractions during driving could mean the difference between seeing a motorcyclist or not when preparing to change lanes. Don’t let one text change anyone’s life forever!
Riders need to take precautions as well. Take a defensive driving course, wear protective gear and keep your bike in its best working condition. Also, be aware of any road hazards and dangerous weather conditions.
Most of all, enjoy your ride and make it home again!

Your heart is one of the most important organs in your body. It’s responsible for pumping blood and oxygen throughout your body, ensuring that every other organ has the necessary resources to function properly. It’s also a muscle that needs to be cared for, just like any other muscle in your body. This is where a cardiologist comes in. A cardiologist is a specialist who focuses on the heart, and can help you maintain a healthy heart, diagnose and treat any heart-related conditions, and prevent future heart problems.
