Ride to work week
« on: October 21, 2018, 08:58:20 PM »
Surprised this hasn't been posted on here before.

From October 22 to 26, get on your bike for National Ride Your Motorcycle To Work Week. It's a chance to bring some fun to your daily commute and reclaim the work day, while sharing the passion for riding. For one week of the year, we ride together and draw attention to rider safety, while making sure our bikes are ready for the summer riding season. Let's ride!

Australia’s first Dakar Rally winner and newly crowned Cross Country Rallies World Champion Toby Price is urging riders to get their bikes out of the garage for Ride to Work Week.

Hehe likewise, although I do have a ‘wimp-out’ clause. The weather man says this week is definitely a Ride To Work week  :runyay

You can call me Steve, with apologies to Paul Simon.

No problem old timer. You can do a Ride To Eat week instead.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
