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.

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
