National Ride to Work Day

[aps45819]

Motorcycle and Scooter Ride to Work Day is this Wednesday
Motorcycle and scooter riders' 16th annual commuting day is Wednesday, July 18th. Participation in the yearly demonstration is estimated to triple the number of riders on the road. Motorcycle and scooter groups and organizations actively encourage riders to commute by cycle on this day. On Ride to Work Day, motorcycle and scooter commuters seek improved employer recognition and support for this form of transportation and increased public and government awareness of the positive value of riding.

Adding more motorcycles and scooters to everyone's daily commute makes urban parking easier and traffic flow better, according to Ride to Work, a non-profit advocacy organization. Studies have also shown that across the same distances, motorcyclists reach their destinations faster than those using automobiles. Many motorcycles and scooters also consume less resources per mile than automobiles. "Riding to work on this day is fun and shows the positive value of motorcycling. For many people, riding is a socially responsible form of mobility that saves energy, helps the environment and provides a broad range of other public benefits," stated Andy Goldfine, this year's event organizer.

I like it when I go by the light near your house just as it's turning green, cut thru the slow traffic just starting to move and then run it up into 6th gear.

Just imagining how wonderful that must feel brings a tear to my eye.

Hubby rode to work this morning on a different kind of bike.

Saw a couple of guys peddling down 235 this morning. Was he the one in the gay spandex shorts?

 

[Mousebaby]

Umm, NO. He has no butt to hold those things up!

No, he is always dressed in his casual business attire as he is peddling down the road. We only live a hop, skip and a jump away from the main gate, err, what used to be the main gate. I don't know if he would have to peddle all the way down to Pegg rd. or not. I'll have to ask him. Anyway, have a great day! :hugs:

What ya goina do? send some lesbian over to kick my azz? Bring it on!!!!!!

She's waaaaaaaaay busy and, naturally, now that she lives closer, she only has time for me. I think you need to get over it. And, for your info, the following rules apply to my riding:

1. Not when it's cold;
2. Not when it's hot.
