I will continue the rant about giving everything a day. one thing that makes me a bit upset is black history month, what about white history month, and tan history month, if we're gonna classify by color then there should be black, white, and tan history months too.

Well if it's below freezing I won't ride. But rain doesn't [hase me anymore.

I just got off nightshifts and rode home, does that count as ride to work? I hope so, cause I'm not riding there just to ride there. Haha there's better places to go.
usualy when you ride, and when you get off you bike you find yourself at work, that's considered "Riding to work"
Read what I wrote, I just got OFF nightshifts and rode home. So I got off my bike, and found myself, not at work, but at home.

I went in to work at 1900 on Tuesday the 20th and got home at 0715 on Wed the 21st. So did I make the grade or not?
Oh, right. No, I'd say that would be "Riding Home". But I suppose if you go in tonight before midnight then you might consider yourself partiipating in "Ride to Work" day.

Apparently the originators of "Ride to Work" day werent concerned with the ride home, otherwise they would of called it "Ride to Work, and Ride to Home" day.

Can I ride to work and then leave? I mean it's not "Ride to Work, Work, Ride to Home" day. I better explain this to my boss while I still have time... actually nah, I'm sure she'll understand if I just don't show up.

I heard about this about three years ago. I always print out the logo...and post it around the office. I did so about two weeks ago.

But for me...it is "Ride to Work"...almost everyday!!!!

I truely believe that Hallmark made up half the non-sense days like "secretarys day"...........they made cards, people buy them...and they make up a new day!!!

As for the "ride to work day" there are no cards you can buy......this day has a purpose!!! It is to show people how many bikes are actually on the street...its basic motorcycle awareness.....

I ride to work every day....mainly because it helps me sell motorcycle parts when I can say "I have this same thing on my bike, go look, it's right out front"........

Well, I'm dropping off my bike on the 17th so it doesn't look like I'll be riding into work for the 19th. Sucks as this would have been my first since I've only riding for a few months.

Oh well. Front tire needs replacing so it isn't really safe to ride it much, progressive fork springs being installed and valves getting adjusted.
