When Parks refused to give up her seat, a police officer arrested her. As the officer took her away, she recalled that she asked, "Why do you push us around?" She remembered him saying, "I don't know, but the law's the law, and you're under arrest." [46] She later said, "I only knew that, as I was being arrested, that it was the very last time that I would ever ride in humiliation of this kind. ... " [40] The secret to adding protection without sacrificing our legendary flexibility and comfort is the use of a specialized Thermoplastic Rubber(TPR) material.

My experience was mirrored by Darryl Thompson, who says he’s been riding for 47 years and has taught thousands of riders in Western Canada for 31 years. I asked if Parks’ course was a new learning experience and, like everyone else I talked to, he responded resoundingly in the affirmative. His lessons are as much hard science mingled with practical philosophy and the somewhat esoteric, including references to the working of the subconscious mind, principles of faith (in the machine), what really happens in the dynamics of motorcycle handling, psychological reasons why we choose to ride, how we see, and much more.

The thing is, have we given you the tools to be able to recognize what you are doing wrong and what you need to work on?” Parks asks, “No one is going to become a master in a day, or two days, or even a year or even 10 years. You know this is something that takes a long period of time.” There are several reasons for the mediocre safety record, including unprecedented distracted driving, and larger vehicles on the road to potentially crash into. But as Parks also points out – and as most experienced riders already know – today’s machines have gotten better and faster, but human beings are still the same. In the 1940s, Parks and her husband were members of the League of Women Voters. Sometime soon after 1944, she held a brief job at Maxwell Air Force Base, which, despite its location in Montgomery, Alabama, did not permit racial segregation because it was federal property. She rode on its integrated trolley. Speaking to her biographer, Parks noted, "You might just say Maxwell opened my eyes up." Parks worked as a housekeeper and seamstress for Clifford and Virginia Durr, a White couple. Politically liberal, the Durrs became her friends. They encouraged—and eventually helped sponsor—Parks in the summer of 1955 to attend the Highlander Folk School, an education center for activism in workers' rights and racial equality in Monteagle, Tennessee. There Parks was mentored by the veteran organizer Septima Clark. [15] In 1945, despite the Jim Crow laws and discrimination by registrars, she succeeded in registering to vote on her third try.
