## Resource

Alabamas roads saw a record-breaking number of motorcyclist and bicyclist fatalities last year, with 125 motorcyclists and 8 bicyclists losing their lives. This tragic trend continues, with young adults and children on bicycles being particularly vulnerable. State troopers are urging drivers to be more vigilant, especially during summer months, and to give motorcycles and bicycles ample space on the road. Safety gear, such as helmets, is also emphasized as crucial for protecting riders. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
