I did ride (my SV) to work today, but only because I do that most days, not because I knew it was ride to work day.

Do every day, unless it is snowing.

Well I rode in today as it was nice. Parked the bike in my parking space (No dedicated motorcycle parking here) 200+ cars and just my bike. Worse part was waiting 5 minutes for a car to enter my filter lane in order to trigger the traffic lights to turn into work. For some reason a bike does not trigger the lights.

Yes, but I didn't know that this was a thing.

Didn't know it was a thing, was hauling stuff to the dump so couldn't have anyway.

I walked, same as always.

I felt riding today would just be silly.

I normally would but I had a hire car which I had to take to another depot (at 5am) & now I'm back at work with no transport whatsoever. I don't actually know how I'm going to get home today :-s

Always, haven't missed a day since winter 10/11.

And that's in proper weather, not the drizzle you get doon sooth.

No. Had the delights of a standard-issue cannot-drive-for-toffee minicab take me to Heathrow instead. Why do they all head for the overtaking lane when there is nothing in lane 1 and then drift over the white lines for no reason every couple of miles?

Was he sitting about an inch away from the steering wheel, hanging over it like a praying mantis, with no seatbelt on?

Way to hard as my bike won't carry pairs of steps or 3 meter lengths of trunking/conduit very easily...

Pah, you just aren't creative enough, bungee cords and duct tape, can't go wrong :-)

Haha, I can just imagine the conversation with the policeman...

"good afternoon sir, would you like to hazard a guess why I've pulled you over"

"Driving too fast.... :-/ ?"

Used mine today, unlike the fairweather ktm rider at work, although his bike will disolve at the merest hint of moisture :rolleyes:;)

I moved it in the garage but unfortunately I needed to use a cage today so it stayed there. Didn't know it was Ride To Work Day though

Walked to work then went home in the car with DJ. I always walk so I can drop youngest off to school on the way, I will miss it when he goes to senior school in September. I did not know it was ride to work day.
