how often do you use your bike??

I commute to work on my bike (Has to be really sh*t weather to be bothed with the car and traffic). Try to get out on one day of the weekend for a ride to blow the cobwebs out.

race bike, so it only does the quarter mile outside my house every so often (for testing purposes only of course)

So if it even looks like rain I travel in the car..too old to be gettin wet!
In winter the bike will probably never be used, unless its a fine day..so I'll have to sort out some winter storage issues...

And remember it boils down to what you wear out there and not what you ride when things take a turn for the turdies. Don't be a dumbarse like me and learn it the hard way after a good dose of road rash as a teenager...

Meh, with the toys I have the bike gets most of its use from going to rallies and a little around town.

Normally it's a "convenience" thing, -i.e. if the bike locked in the gargre and it's a wet day then it drops in order of "What Mode of Transport Today".

Haha, you're such a dag, "the iron that does your shirts", - as if there's such a thing, - and what does it do to my shirts?

My bike is my transport, so I ride it just about daily. Although I do admit 1 day last week it was absolutely pissing down with rain & blowing like a gale, so I actually caught the bus.

**Pwalo** · 4th April 2005, 09:14

I commute on my bike every day, sun, rain, wind, whatever. The only time that I haven't was last years floods (couldn't get to work) and when I was off work after being knocked off. Actually had a few weeks using taxis and a week in the cage before I got back on my new bike.

Can't stand the queues and being stuck in a car. Modern wet weather gear, modern tyres and brakes make things pretty damn good.

Shit I sound so old. just like my Dad talking about his biking days.
