Every year, spring brings a fresh batch sounds, including bird chirps, children's voices and the rumble of motorcycles. Although this is officially Harley Town, Milwaukeeans like to zip around on all kinds of bikes and enjoy the few precious riding months our climate offers.

Not everyone likes the influx of bikers. Some believe the mode of transportation is too dangerous, whether wearing a helmet or not. But what do you think? Is riding a motorcycle is dangerous? More dangerous than driving a car? Sound-off, Milwaukee, and sound off now!

Yes, motorcycles are way more dangerous than driving a car. The problem with driving a motorcycle is that you're not protected. Even a minor accident, which wouldn't harm you in a car, could kill you on a bike. There are articles every week, sometimes more, about local people dying on motorcycles. Motorcycle riding is fun, but it's just not worth the risk.

No, motorcycles are less dangerous than driving a car. Statistically, you are in more danger driving a car than riding a bike. If you practice safe, sober riding, there is absolutely no reason why you should fear death. Motorcycle riding is a safer, cheaper form of transportation and less harmful to the environment.
