Riding Tips for the Long Weekend

If you're joining the throngs of motorists on the road this Memorial Day weekend, you'll want to pack an extra dose of common sense and caution; fuel prices may be high, but that won't stop highways from getting clogged with lumbering trucks, RVs, and SUVs. For advice on how to avoid the interstate crunch, Nationwide Insurance has some great safety tips.

Riding in groups also presents its own potential hazards, so if you plan on riding with a buddy (or ten) we've got a new piece on group riding. And finally, if you're going touring we've also got tips on how to plan a road trip and advice on packing an emergency kit.

Have fun out there, and ride safe!
