State Rep. Greg Alexander of Carsonville led a resolution making May Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month in Michigan. The measure, passed by the House Tuesday, urges riders to wear protective gear and follow traffic laws. It also reminds drivers to stay alert for motorcyclists, especially as warmer weather brings more of them out. Michigan has over 230,000 motorcycles and 610,000 licensed riders. Alexander represents the 98th District, covering parts of Lapeer, Sanilac, Tuscola, and all of Huron County.
