Ride to Work Day - July 16
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008 at 11:16 am by rhino
Andy Goldfine, founder of the Rider Wearhouse and inventor of the Aerostitch suit, had an interesting idea a bunch of years ago. He thought that all of us two-wheeled believers should try to get out on our bikes on the same day once a year to expose the public to our full numbers.
While this is pie-in-the-sky thinking; it’s also a good excuse to drag your steed out for a day. Whether you ride everyday or just a couple times a year, see if you can’t find an excuse to take your motorcycle for a spin. It doesn’t have to be to work, just get out there amoungst the cagers for awhile and let them know you’re a legitimate road user also. In these days of $4-$5/gallon gasoline, it’s even more compelling.
Two week from today, Wednesday, July 16th, is Ride to Work day. Get out there!
(Yeah, I wished he picked a cooler time of year, but the guy lives in Minnesota, what do you expect?)

Count me in! I ride to work almost everyday, and hope a great number of our fellow riders do the same. Although, I know some in the west, will be riding in temperatures nearing 100 degrees.
