## Resource

Spring is coming, but don't let the warm weather fool you. This season, complacency is the villain. In Episode 105, Len Bellello draws on Shakespeare's Richard III to frame why this spring could be the most dangerous riding season in recent memory — brutal roads, atrophied skills, and drivers who've forgotten motorcycles exist. Plus, five research-backed crash factors every rider needs to know: trees, speed, gear limits, which side of the road you fall on, and age. Ride smart. Ride alive.
