A motorcycle course out of MCC is helping keep bikers and others on the road safe.

Learn 2 Ride offers beginner courses for motorcyclists who want to learn how to ride. It includes an online and classroom portion and then road work. Those who pass it all have their DMV road test waived.

Motorcyclists do need a Class M driver's license to ride legally in the state of New York.

"The traffic environment has gotten so much worse over the last few years. Everybody's in a hurry. Distracted driving, cell phones, things of that nature," said Ron Hinz, Learn 2 Ride. "We need to focus on the road, we need to focus on what we're doing behind the wheel, behind the handlebars."

Learn 2 Ride also offers advanced classes for experienced bikers who want to brush up on their their skills.
