Who's idea was it to make "Ride to work day" in the middle of Winter!!?? :stupid:
If the cold wet weather isn't enough to put people off from taking part, (Others!,,, Not me of course!), Then the fact that a lot of people put their bike registration on hold over the winter wouldn't help the cause!

It's an American event. I guess we should start an Annual Southern Hemisphere Ride to Work Day sometime in Feb.

who gives a fig about the weather!? with traffic like auckland, EVERY day is a good day to ride in!!

[wari]

I agree Coldkiwi about the Auckland traffic ... but how about the south island brothers and sisters ? ... hail, ice and snow about now , cant blame them for not riding in it eh?

Now, if i can just figure out how to strap 1/2 a ton of tools&nbsp;&amp; gear&nbsp;to the back of the trusty Yam, I should be OK........

Whoops, another post!:o

[What?]

I have to go to Hamilton for work on the 16th. If I go through Matamata, out to Walton and through Scotsmans valley there's some good, tight twisty stuff and naff-all traffic... I suppose I could take the bike. I won't enjoy it, though. Not much, anyway.:p

Time to wash off the Indian and adjust the points ready to go!
Still got the dirt and grime on it from the sulpher city mission in feb.

[bikerboy]

That's so unfair! I work from home.:(

Maybe I should take the day off and ride around all day long. :cool:

[Yamahamaman]

Yeah - good idea. Can I tag along?

[Antallica]

Oh dear.... I just quit my job! :( ahh well.....

[bikerboy]

Perhaps the NZ celebration of this day should be for all bikies to call in
sick, take day off, whatever and ride all around making there presence known.:beer:

Just remembered I'm not even working that day... perhaps I'll take a tiki tour for the hell of it.

Didn't notice many more bikes today as I drove in :o missus wouldn't let me take the bike as I'm still recovering from flu.

Weather was not terribly well organised. I can't see outside from my office, and wonder whether or not my bike will get wet...yay wellington's weather - you can''t tell, and it won't decide

[wkid_one]

Maybe if we speak to Marc Ellis we could organise National Ride to Work Day and National&nbsp; Nude Day to coincide??

I was 664km away from my bike, and added to that disappointment was the fact I can't even ride it if I was there (both due to having a fucked shoulder and apparently, according to many, not being able to ride anyway)....what do I hear violins?

I commiserated the fact by spending all day on here instead!
