Best Part of your day~~!

[DJ DOOWOP]

Hey All,
Lately I've began really enjoying the bike, I take it with me as frequently as I can...nothing beats the feeling cruising down the main roads on a hot day man... Having said that, it's usually the best part of my day, coming from the shore with a 9-5 job.... I used to HATE, HATE, commuting, either in a cage or bus.
Now I am excited each morning getting up with the first thing on my mind as how I am going to dogde the traffic and safely, and quickly getting to work in style..... Commuting has became the "best " part of my day....since.
For some of you the best part may be spending time with your chick/family/job?.... don't get me wrong I love that as well but getting on a bike and zooming through the traffic is so liberating sometimes it feels as if you are invisible on the road.... what do you think?

Aiight just wanted to have a yarn...

Yeah man, I know what you mean.
I live in the country and get to blast into Hamilton everyday.
Best part of my day for sure. I can't wait for 4:30 so I can jump on my bike.

[deathstar]

yeah got the same feeling but i am going the other way to the traffic and it's a clear blast the whole way to work, infact i don't have to slow down at any point apart from traffic lights (dam you traffic lights you win this time)

[*sic]

commuting on the bike = win.

[SVrunner]

As I come from shoreside would have to agree that does make my day that I can get from work to home or home to work in about 30 minutes even when traffic stops.
Almost nothing better.

[JWALKER]

Definatly. it is great, i love it

[phoenixgtr]

Yep. I know what you mean. I find myself wishing for the end of the day, not so that I can go home so much but so I can ride home... If you get what I mean

[vifferman]

Yeah. The morning commute is the best part of my day. Strangely, it's better than the ride home. I think that's because:

• The air is often cool and crisp in the morning
• Having to be super alert on the bike makes me feel energised
• The route I take works better one way than the other
• I'm not as tired
• People seem to travel to work at staggered times, but all leave for home at around the same time. Either that, or it's the 'funnel' thing: people in my area travelling to different places to work, but coming home there's a whole lot of people from different areas funnelling into one destination.

I dunno. Whatever it is, it's a great way to travel.

[Fishy]

Yeah I love waking up on a fine morning and bringing the blade out of the garage getting ready for a blast into work. I work in Mt Wellington and live in Pokeno so its a fair ol ride. Quite often head through Papakura to Clevedon through to Maraetai, Whitford then out from Botany Downs. Beats getting a flat spot on the motorway and having to deal with swarms of cages for sure!.

[Drum]

I dont get to ride in every day because I share the cage ride with my missus', but it sure makes my day when I do (like today).

Soon she will be quitting her job to raise our mini-me which is due in August. Then i get to commute on the bike every day!

[Pwalo]

Almost all my riding is commuting. Still makes me feel good every time.

I got my oldest little girl an electric car to drive untill she's 5. I have a little Honda 1 cyl 50cc that she will be riding as soon as she's 5, (1 year 4 months to go).

Commuting from Hibiscus coast to Upper Queen Street Auckland everyday, turned a 2 hour car "Horror" into the most enjoyable 45minute ride of my life (till the engine blew). Now I just look forward to riding to/from work, even though I spend more time warming the bike than riding it, as I live 8 minutes walk to work.

[skelstar]

I with you DJ. The morning ride is always the best.
I ride against the traffic, but theres enough for a bit of dodgy lane changing, undertaking and queue hopping. Sometimes I just hope the lights turn red along the Petone Espl just so I can filter past all the saps in their cages .

[Momentum]

ridding to and from work is grate no waiting in traffic.

can be a 20 min drive in the car. on the bike 10 mins hehehe

after getting my bike i have only used the cage about 4 times
