Teaching kids both traffic safety and the joy of motorcycles at the same time — an initiative like this genuinely matters. Motorcycles belong to everyone who wants to ride them, and that entry point should be open regardless of generation. Teaming up with Sanrio to deliver it in an approachable way warmed my heart.

This kind of outreach feels like an extension of the traffic safety classes that have always been around.

Handing out traffic safety T-shirts to elementary schoolers is a modest but important effort.
