ContactWhile many people dismiss riding motorcycles as reckless or dangerous given the number of traffic fatalities involving motorcycle collisions, some relish the notion of riding with the wind against their jackets. 103-year-old woman Bert Mullenbach dreamt of riding a motorcycle for years, not once believing she would ever do it.

What Does An Electric Harley-Davidson Sound Like?
Harley-Davidson seems to recognize the market and environmental shift to battery-powered transportation and on the way towards introducing electric vehicles to the public. In the past, Harley-Davidson has kept quiet on the details and goals of their electric fleet; now they seem to be more transparent. Over the next decade, they will unveil over 100 new bikes, along with a fleet of electric motorcycles to expand their market appeal. If you are wondering if their electric motorcycles will lose the distinct Harley Davidson sound, they have an answer for you. While it may not have that rhythmic sound of the classic cruiser, the sound will be similar to that of a jet fighter. The quality of the sound and feel of the bike they simply cannot ignore, as the feel of the ride is what defines the iconic American brand.
LA Named Most Congested City in the World
If you live or work in Los Angeles, congratulations: you commute through the most congested city in the world. According to the 2016 INRIX Global Traffic Scorecard, Los Angeles is now ranked #1 among the world's most congested cities, surpassing Moscow, which held the #1 rank in 2015. INRIX estimates that Angelenos spend an average of 104 hours a year stuck in traffic during peak commuting times. That is more time spent in traffic than in any other city in the world. More time, even, than in the bottom 30 cities combined. The reported number is up from what it was in 2015, and will likely only continue to rise as Los Angeles grows ever more populated. So, what does increasing traffic congestion mean for the state of commuting in the most congested city in the world?
New Helmet To Keep Your Chill Ride Even Cooler
If you have been looking for a helmet that will not act as a portable sauna while riding, you may be in luck with this new development. Steve Feher, Los Angeles based inventor and entrepreneur, has worked on the breathability and flow of air dynamics ever since his first patent drawings at the age of the 11. The newly developed motorcycle helmet has two fans to provide air conditioning for the rider at the cost of an additional 4 ounces to the helmet weight. While this may seem more of a luxury than a safety improvement, the heat and discomfort of a sweaty helmet may be distracting for riders over the course of a long ride. Feher, a motorcycle enthusiast and rider himself stated, "It's more comfortable to ride with the air-conditioned helmet than it is to ride with no helmet at all." While this may be as bold a statement that can be made for a helmet, Feher stands by his new helmet design.
