Who rode to work today?

[placidfemme]

Seeing as today is the 14th Annual Ride to Work day...

I rode in today... and the weather this morning was great... I did a stupid thing and tried to take off this morning after warming the bike up and got about 1m then the bike just stopped along with a bunch of funny noises coming from the back wheel area... thought "hmmm thats strange" got off my bike... had a look... and I'd forgotten to take my chain off But no damage to the bike I won't be doing that again...

Anyway back on topic...

Did you ride to work?

Damn chick, that's funny! Glad to hear your bikes ok, and that you got to work ok! I rode in this morning, roads were a little wet but the weather was good. Apparently there was a head on collision (cages) @ a major-ish intersection just after I had passed through, glad I left home when I did!!

glad to hear you missed the accident... scary when you hear something has happened that you just missed...

Before Sam and I started riding to work, we used to bus everyday, and one morning we both felt extra lazy (as apposed to just lazy) and decided to both skip work... At about lunchtime we had the news on and saw that the EXACT bus we catch everymorning had run off the road (not sure why) just 300m up the road from where we would have got onto the bus. The next day it was in the local paper (North Shore Times) and the bus drivers comment was "my 2 usual passangers weren't on the bus this morning... and I glad for that" [Edit] We were the first people to get on the bus in the mornings (the 6.05am bus)

That was freaky.

Good on you for riding to work I didn't see any bikes on my way in...

[Flyingpony]

Yes, bike started and away I was. Then turned around 100m up road because I forgot the power bill

Did spend 15 minutes hunting for my riding gear - child prank

Edit: Didn't tell my child about bike day and with a spoken ability of mostly baby babble sprinkled with some words, it was most likely just play fun

Its good to hear that laziness pays of some times, aye! lol

I just saw the usual bikers, the 3 "L" platers puddling along and trying to master the art of parking! (myself included) Must be quite a sight, lol!

D'Oh!! (That's )

Forgot all about it - too much bad shit happening this week.

But I rode anyway, even though I was supposed to take the car.

And it was pretty good, seeing as I haven't ridden for nearly two weeks!
I thought, "Damn! This bike sounds good!" Not much hooning though - minimal lane-splitting (about 30m), no speeding, and only one short wheelie.

Nah... Never gunna happen. 2 daughters to transport 50km into town and its a bit damp today...

Cheers

[Slingshot]

I did, as I do everyday (except for when I have to dodge cats and dogs).


I saw the usual bikes on the way in...big ups to the dude that rides the Lucky Strike two smoker...he has a great awareness of what's going on around him and always pulls over to let me pass

still at work from yesterday, but I am about to ride to uni I think that counts

Took the opportunity to bring the STeed into town for a slightly early 24,000km service and to get its new rubber fitted. Metzeler Z6s, as it turns out (happy, happy, joy, joy). Motorad sold the Avons they were holding for me a week ago to some truly desperate dude. So didn't that work out well? My sports touring tyre of choice delivered by fortuitous happenstance.

Home tonight via the Wainuiomata coast road!

[Squiggles]

i wud've rode but im nt working i rode home from last night tho

[et al]

I rode in to commemorate the day, and also to make use of the "Jim2 Bikepark" for the first time. Big ups to Jim2 for getting that done - is a real treat to finally have a proper bikepark in this part of town (Abel Smith St/top of Cuba St).
