I'm curious as to how many of us are taking part in this year's Ride-to-Work Day?

Several where I work are being sure to ride to work, then park in a relatively visible area to show how many in the neighborhood ride.

A local dealer is going to offer free Hot-Dogs, Hamburgers and Brats to lure area bikers for Lunch.  Then we're planning a ride to be visible and "smell the flowers" so to speak.

Any of you folks taking part?  If so, are there any events planned in your area & if so, what are they?

Nope, I won't be participating in the annual event. Where I work, carpooling and taking the bus is just more convenient.

I'll do it and let some of the guys I work with know about it too  :thumb:

Glad to see that a lot of us ride to work.  With the price of gas going nowhere but up, it makes sense economically as well as ecologically.  :thumb:

I ride mine whenever it's nice (since I just started riding).  We even have special parking so I no longer have to walk a mile just to get to the front door.

That's another great thing about motorcycling -- impromptu parking is a lot simpler than for a car.

Had a quick errand 130 miles away in Traverse City a week ago and they were having a Cherry Festival.  Every car park that was full and street parking wasn't easy to find close to where I needed be.  Ah, but my bike could be parked relatively easy.  Not a problem actually.  :thumb:

But then I'm preaching to the choir...

The place I work has a nice motorcycle parking area of the garage right next to the front door.
