livestock auction-as well as the American Rancher, Gentle Giants, the Fort Worth Stock Show
Sale of Champions and the All American Cowgirl Chicks. He stated that people who loved and

environmentally sound and effective means of personal transportation, recreation and fitness and

traffic congestion and noise, decreasing the use of and dependence upon finite energy sources
and fostering exercise. She stated that in 1956, the League of American Bicyclists established

Council Member Espino presented a proclamation for Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month
to Mr. Michael Goyette, Ride Safe in Texas. He stated that motorcycles were an important,
energy-efficient means of transportation and a popular source of recreation which many citizens
enjoy today. He further stated motorcyclists were often unprotected and were more prone to
injury or death in a crash than other vehicle drivers; therefore, campaigns, through a
comprehensive approach to motorcycle safety, had helped inform riders and motorists alike on
motorcycle safety issues in an effort to reduce motorcycle-related risks, injuries and most of all
fatalities. He pointed out that it is the responsibility of all who put themselves behind the wheel
to become aware of motorcyclists and regard them with the same respect as any other vehicle
traveling the highways of this country, just as it is the responsibility of riders and motorists to
obey all traffic laws and safety rules. He stated that we encourage all residents of our
community to become aware of the inherent danger involved in operating a motorcycle, as well
as for riders and motorists alike, to give each other the mutual respect they deserve.
