Ever wondered if riding faster or slower than traffic really makes you safer — or puts you at more risk? In this video, we break down Solomon’s Curve, the famous crash-risk graph based on over 10,000 crashes, and look at what newer research says about speed and safety for motorcyclists. You’ll learn why going too fast or too slow can raise your crash risk, how to find the safest speed on the road, and why “riding with the flow of traffic” might be the smartest strategy for staying upright.
