Ride to Work Day

I was wondering how many people were able to ride to work today to celebrate Ride to Work Day? I am lucky to live in SW Florida where I can ride to work nearly everyday and live 7 miles from work. I keep extra clothes and shoes there so I don't have to bring them. If I don't ride the security guards always want to know why. My motorcycle gets around 45 mpg, my car 24 mpg so I save money on gas. I know a lot of people cannot ride due to location or type of job, but for those of us who can, it is a joy! Sometimes I even take the long way home to enjoy a nice evening and end up putting on 50+ miles.

Wish I Could Ride Mine to Work!
by: sassy2731

Like I said I wish I could ride one of my bikes to work everyday, but you see I work at home so I wouldn't get to ride very far. lol Maybe from the garage back to the house. lol Anyway it would be a really great way to start each and every day around here. It is so hot here in Houston, TX this time of year that the A/C in the car is much nicer anyway especially the a/c seats. lol We have mild winters and get to ride most all winter long which I really do rub that in most every year when everyone up north is snowed in! I do enjoy riding as often as possible, but this heat is really bad near 100 degrees everyday so far this June. Electric bill is showing it too!

1st Time

Wow, I didn't know it was ride your bike to work day. I did ride my bike and it was the first time. I did a practice run on Sunday. I am fairly new to riding and getting comfortable on my bike. You have a great bike. When I get comfortable enough I will go on the highway, but for now back roads are great. Still working on feeling good about the turning. My bike is a 1999 Honda Shadow VLX Deluxe. I love her.

Ride to Work Day

I'd love to ride to work, and will as soon as I can confidently navigate the very steep downhill entrance to the parking garage, the key-less entree at the bottom, and the very tight u-turn after going under the gate the swings up to let me in! It's all quite intimidating!

Ride to Work

Yeh. I rode to work today. Went in early cause there was a huge thunder boomer looming and it hit here just at 7:30. I ride to work everyday. Rain or shine. It's my main transportation. Grocery getter, kid picker upper, and my after work therapy, done a world of good for my marriage too.
