    yes and no. yes on days like today, when there's no much traffic and the trains are shite. no when I go on the train cos there's too much traffic trying to kill you, cops giving you tickets and I can watch MotoGP vids on the laptop.

    I don't commute on my bike as it's kind of difficult to ride it from my room past the bathroom and into the office without ruining the carpet...

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I assumed, seeing as how it was mentioned in both the topic heading and the body of the message, that it was deliberate, and referred to munting your bike while commuting, or commuting in a munterish sort of fashion.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Currently I'm looking at 1 bin per 22,000 km's commuting.
    Assuming you work a five day week, every 60 weeks you'll have a bin, that's just under one bin per annum.

    Dude...maybe you should invest in a train pass.

    I used to Commute to College on my GN, then my FZR. I used to take my bike into work until I recently lowsided it in gravel just outside the site office. Rest assured I'll be back to commuting as soon as it's road worthy.

    Always commute on the bike. Occasionally I take the cage when I am required to give family/friends a lift to the airport or need to take things to work that don't fit on the bike. Don't really care about the weather, just ride to the conditions. Usually when it is wet and shitty the roads are more congested, so the payoff for riding is greater than on fine days when the traffic is lighter. I always look forward to the trip to and from work, it's just the 9 hours in between that bite.

    That's still waaaaay better odds than some people on this site

    Anyway, it's slightly skewed statistics as I have only been back on bikes since labour weekend 2003.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    That's not right - you're supposed to use gravel for wicked powerslides, or doing donuts.
    ... and that's what I think.

    One other reason that I commute is 'cos I get a free carpark at work being on 2 wheels. Way to go IBM!
