The LA Times reported an article briefing people on the increase in motorcycle accidents. Data reported from the CHP indicate that nearly half of the motorcycle fatalities occurred between June and September, as more bikers go for joyrides under the warm sun. CHP reports, "In urban areas, many collisions are the result of inattention by automobile drivers sharing the road with the more agile two-wheeled bikes. But bikers out for a recreational ride often take risks that can result in tragedy, such as speeding or racing each other. CHP data show that the vast majority of accidents are caused by young men going faster than the posted speed limits." Bikers also tend to cruise on open roads which are further away from immediate medical response. The LA Times reports that California 33, seems to have numerous accidents every year due to the isolated area which bikers love and the curvy roads. Each biker is different, but the one thing that they have in common is the risk in being seriously injured as a result of a motorcycle accident.
