Cycle Gear and RevZilla Promote Rider Safety with Airbags Save Campaign

The innovative technology of wearable airbags offers essential protection for motorcyclists throughout the summer season

PHILADELPHIA, PA – July 10, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) –  With summer in full swing and as holiday road travel increases, motorcyclists are hitting the open road, driving further and longer than before. But with the fun and freedom of riding, also comes an inherent risk. To help motorcyclists stay safe this summer – and beyond – Cycle Gear® and RevZilla®, the nation’s leading retailers of motorcycle parts, apparel and accessories, have created the Airbags Save Campaign to educate people on wearable airbags, which offer a practical solution to ensure rider safety while also offering peace of mind to riders’ loved ones.

This uptick in travel also means more motorcyclists on the road, making safety a top priority.

In a separate Gitnux report, it was recorded that there were over 13 million registered motorcycles in the United States.
