Motorcycling advocacy (colloquially "bikers' rights" in the US) generally refers to the belief in legal rights of motorcyclists, either as citizens or as motorists, or as motorcyclists per se, and to the efforts made to promote or defend those rights. There have been a number of grass roots efforts to advocate for these rights throughout the USA.
Advocacy is carried out by individuals and organizations. One issue often in dispute is mandatory helmet laws. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA, part of the Department of Transportation) has been the main US Federal Government agency active in the debate over motorcycle rights for such things as off-road riding, vehicle requirements and of course helmets.
