Who is going to ride to work tommorrow?

Tommorrow is Ride to Work Day (July 18th). Who is going to do it?

Yeah, yeah... I know... go ahead and tell me you are all those hard core and ride to work EVERY day, right??? Then how come statistics show that only 0.12% of the 4% of the population with registered motorcycles actually commute to work?





Make a difference, people, and park that cage already! Put the boot on it.....

Who is going to ride to work tommorrow?
I will definitely ride to work just like I do every day.Then again I do work as a motorcycle messenger so it would be kind of hard to do my job if I didn't ride.
Reply:I guess I'm a 0.12%er.


1 year = 13470 mi. with a 7.5 mile commute.





Statistics and percentages? Don't count on the skewed numbers, partner. 2 are registered to me, but I can only sit on one at a time.
Reply:Im guessing u
Reply:Yup, I will ride tomorrow, just like I do everyday. I ride to and from work during the week, and take long relaxing rides on most weekends. By the way, I've owned 26 bikes in 41 years. The last 5 have all been Harleys, including the 2007 Ultra classic peace officers model I just bought. Does that satisfy your requirements for "hard core rider"? I'd also recheck your figures, your way off on regestered m/c is the U.S.. the percentage of regestered m/c's is more like 23% now.
Reply:If I had a bike I would. Maybe I'll take out my Dad's Heritage Softail. I know he isn't driving to work tommorrow. Here is a star for your question so maybe you can get tons of answers!!





This question should have been put under surveys and polls FYI
Reply:83% of people that put too much faith into statistics spend 11% of their time wondering why 57% of the world does not fit into 99% of reality.





That happens 100% of the time.
Reply:I'll be riding.





thanks for helping to spread the word. It's always fun to see solidarity among riders. Stay safe.
Reply:Whoops. I thought it was today. Oh well.... Guess I'll do it again tomorrow.
Reply:I ride mine 150 miles every day , not hardcore just enjoy the trip
Reply:if i had a bike I would LOVE to ride to work. when i had a bike I used to ride to work every day. throughout winter too.





those of you who will be riding. enjoy, know that I'm jealous !


And for all those who don't have bikes, lets support the bikers and at least be courteous to them, Give em room, keep your eyes open.

Reply:I am also part of this 0.12% population who actually uses my motorcycle for practical purposes.





Yes, I have a car, but for my daily commute to work I actually ride my motorcyle. It's much better on the gas than my car and is more fun to ride to work too.
