    Everyday no matter what except if it's obviously broken down then I take the backup if it's available.
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    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.

    Hmm if I rode my bike all the time the cage would be a rust heap (probably deserves to be that anyway )
    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

    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.
    Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. And don't start a sentence with a conjugation. (William Safire)
