Don't forget: July 19 is Ride to Work day
Gas isn't getting cheaper. Traffic isn't getting any
thinner. Cars still don't lean into corners and there's no feeling the
morning breeze in your face if you're riding the bus.
If somehow those aren't enough reasons to ride your
motorcycle to work, there's still Ride to Work Day. It's always the
third Wednesday in July, which falls on July 19 this year, and it's the
day we motorcyclists turn out in numbers to show the world that
motorcycles are viable transportation.
 If
you haven't already, you can learn all about Ride to Work Day at the
Ride to Work website.
You'll find lots more reasons why riding your motorcycle makes sense on
the weekdays, as well as weekends, get advice on commuting, learn about
efforts to make our workplaces, parking areas and cities more
motorcycle-friendly, and even read blogs written by committed motorcycle
commuters.
To get you in the mood (or maybe just make you jealous),
you can also read about some AMA members whose rides to work are among
some of the best rides anywhere, in
Commutes
to Envy. We gathered these stories last year by asking members to
tell us about their rides to work. You'll be amazed how good some of
those rides are.
Meanwhile, don't forget Ride to Work Day. See you on the
road.
