MRF- Call to ACTION!

Ride in Freedom Act

The Motorcycle Riders Foundation is glad to see lawmakers bringing freedom of choice to Washington, D.C. Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) and Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) have introduced the Ride in Freedom Act, H.R. 10067 in the House and S. 5274 in the Senate, which would stop the District from forcing every rider to wear a helmet. We thank them for standing up for riders and for the principle that adults can make their own decisions on the road.

Let's be clear about what this bill does and doesn't do. The Ride in Freedom Act does not tell anyone to take off their helmet, and it does not ban helmets. It simply puts the choice back where it belongs, with the rider. If you want to wear a helmet, wear one. If you don't, that decision should be yours, not the government's. Riders in many states already enjoy that freedom, and those who live in or ride through our nation's capital deserve the same respect.

The MRF is your voice in Washington, but lawmakers need to hear directly from riders. Stand with us and ask your members of Congress to cosponsor the Ride in Freedom Act.
