Ride to Work Day

HungLikeJesus · 07-15-2008, 11:02 PM

July 16th, 2008 is the 17th annual Ride to Work Day. You can read more about it here. The site doesn't seem very informative, so I don't know if it's a US only (if so, sorry SG) or international event.

I'll probably ride my Transalp, which I just got running for the first time in four years.

Anybody else?

EDIT: I just found this site, which seems to indicate that it's also Ride to Work Day in the UK.

EDIT 2: It's also National Motorcycle Week

EDIT 3: They are claiming that commuting by motorcycle saves time. This is not the case for me as I tend to take the scenic route.

It hadn't reached me, because it couldn't affect me.
Thanks for the thought!

We have a reasonable amount of scooter (moped) riders in London. Nothing like Rome though.

The number of motorcycles on the road today didn't seem any higher than other recent days (maybe because it's 97°F - and me all in leather).

Oooh, baybay, post a pic of your leathers! :p

I'll have to look on the way home to see if it seems like there are more bikes on the road.
