Here's a JOLLY good idea. How many can we clock up?

[Ixion]

Ride to Werk Day.

20th July. See Here (http://www.ridetowork.org)

So, lets see how many KBer's can say they rode to werk on Ride To Work day . And how many wimp out.

[N4CR]

Pre-Voted. I ride everywhere guranteed. Wed is one of my work days anyway.

:cool:

[John]

Everyday no matter what :Punk: if its broken out comes the backups ...

Yeah, I thought after I created the poll I should have made it Did you/ Will you

I've also emailed the pussies at BRONZ asking what they are going to do to support or publicise it. I'll be interested to see if they can interrupt their latte drinking long enough to reply

Not Fair - I work from home.
I'll ride around the block.

No fair-I have to take the company veh or I'll get cold-opps in the shit with the boss

[placidfemme]

I'll ride to work on the 20th :)

[T.I.E]

all i own is my bike and that's all i want. no cages yet

[White trash]

I wont have started work on the 20th!

I'll ride to someone elses work.

[Pwalo]

If it's a work day then I'll be taking the bike. Just seems to be the weekends that I can't get out to play.

Ride to my work - there's lots of cafes in the area (Ponsonby) so if you decide to be a "latte-drinking pussy" at least there's lotsa choice.

So, that's an offer to meet for a coffee? I've heard about you Honda riders.

Bugger, have to second Big Dave's comment here! And that is not a day I have to be anywhere for work, so I'll have to do the same and go for a ride around the block - with a few detours, of course, as our block is only about 20kms!

[Eurygnomes]

I'll ride to work that day (all things being equal). Hopefully by then, I'll have clocked up enough kms to have the confidence to ride in the wet/wind that's bound to be in Welly.

[MSTRS]

Bluddy werk from home....grumble, grumble
spose that means I get to save petrol everyday

[dhunt]

I'll be riding my bike if it's going by then or I'll be taking the man powered bike.

[Lou Girardin]

I commute every day, can I stay home that day?

[Wolf]

So I've got less than 2 weeks to get a bike to avoid being called a wimp by Ixion...

I walked to work today, took me an hour - normally takes 40 minutes but I'm so out of shape after riding the buses lately.

Would love to ride to work - every day.

[DrDee]

I ride just shy of 70km a day, commuting to work through Auckland traffic. I also use the bike 99% of the time I am going somewhere without the family, rain hail or shine.

:Punk:

[parsley]

I seem to remember a ride to work day in Auckland for human-powered bikes a few months back. They all met in Aotea Square for tea and buns at 08:00 then toddled off to work.
Oh look, Google found it:

Why don't they do something like this for real bikes?

Good idea that man, have an orang-utan. Could we organise a grand KB meetup somewhere (maybe two or three might be needed in different compass points? ) Could get some good press coverage out of it, which all helps public awareness of bikers.

Any thoughts on this suggestion - obvious date would be the 20th ?

Good chance also to meet other people .

Thoughts ? Comment? Interest ? Maybe an AFTER WORK meetup instead ? (Ride home from work day ?)

Crap
I ride to work every day except Wednesdays as I have to drop the missus off at work & she complains of helmet hair when she gets there and my7 blade is out of action at the mo so my only legel bike is the cb250 and it can't carry her kit. ps anyone got an end can for a 95 blade they want to sell :weird:

[pyrocam]

I read the 'did you part' and voted as no because... well.. I havent.

but I will be riding to work.
I do so everyday
I find it really is a perk
and to get pas traffic its the only way

(primary school voice) im a poet and I dont know- it

[DingDong]

I'll ride to work on the 20th too... but I wont vote yet incase I whimp out :whistle:

[parsley]

Good idea that man, have an orang-utan.
No thanks, I'm trying to quit. :no:

[XP@]

Just try getting me to do anything else!

[Ixion]

bumpity bump

[crashe]

well I shall ride to somewhere on that day...
Now Im not sure where yet.... but it will be somewhere.
:ride: :ride: :ride:

[Eurygnomes]

Does it count if I ride my bike to the WMCC for a service?!?! *frown* I totally forgot and booked little Gem in for her 6000k checkup!

[Flyingpony]

Everyday no matter what :love: except if it's obviously broken down :brick: :weep: then I take the backup :whistle: if it's available.

[Qkchk]

Will promise to ride unless I have to bring a truck home the previous night :) fingers crossed.........

[dveus]

I'm not planning on going to work on wednesday, may ride past there at some stage though.

[danb]

Well I do have MIT on a wed and "I think" I have work in the afternoon. If it’s not pissing down with rain or a hurricane outside I ride.

[Wellyman]

I'll ride to work that day (all things being equal). Hopefully by then, I'll have clocked up enough kms to have the confidence to ride in the wet/wind that's bound to be in Welly.
hahaha harden up. I grew up in welly and the weather ain't to bad to ride in. I have rode a motorcycle in welly in bad weather. no problems

Hmm if I rode my bike all the time the cage would be a rust heap (probably deserves to be that anyway :motu: )
I do like the idea of being dry when I get to work or mit and not having to change gear over, Listen to music on the way to drown out the sorrows of the shitty weather outside.
Mind you I do have a good thing about riding in bad weather or the frosts - Least I don’t have to get the hose pipe on the cage every morning to clear the windows, The bike is kept in the garage where it deserves to be at night :Punk:

[Ixion]

Bumpity bump. Only one day to go till ride To Work Day

[Biff]

Nope - I'm ashamed to admit I didn't/couldn't. I had to drive someone around during the day/evening.

I did think about it though - and isn't it the thought that counts?

Amazing - it's not until Wednesday and you've already decided on your excuse. :rofl:
