The organizers hope that they can make May Day in the Bay an annual event, to bring more awareness to motorcycle safety
THUNDER BAY – As the days get longer and temperatures continue to rise, many in the region are ready to get back into their summer hobbies and interests including motorcycling.
Organizer Greg Stein said that he believes it’s important to have an event like this because of Northwestern Ontario’s typically fairly long winters. “Also, motorcyclists need to remember that they are small and they're vulnerable. They need to be watching out for everyone. You essentially need to drive like you're invisible and we want all road users, whether they're pedestrians, cyclists, driving a car, an 18-wheeler, or whatever the case is, to watch for motorcycles.”
Paul Pepe, manager of Tourism Thunder Bay was also at the event, promoting Ride Lake Superior, a Motorcycle Tour through Ontario, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. He said motorcycle tourism is worth about 25 million dollars a year to Northern Ontario's economy.
