In areas where it starts snowing in September and it stays that way until April or May, people don’t see bikers for up to 8 months at a time. Then all of the sudden it seems like there are bikes everywhere and the cagers have long since forgotten what their fellow highway users look like. If you happen to be in one of those kind of areas, assume that you are invisible. Even here in Colorado where bikers are out year round (admittedly, on a limited basis during the cold weather), the cagers forget about us and the accident rate goes up and mortality goes down in late March to early May.
