Jealous of that Commute. Mine takes me through some less than safe areas, so I have to go a little out of the way. That area is beautiful.

I ride everyday to work-
I've been harping on my students to ride their bikes to school this week- I even told them that I'd let them park their bikes in my room (being a digital film teacher, I have a ton of space). As I look in my room I have 16 bikes in here right now-

I'm in! I'm fortunate that my office has showers so I don't stink the place up aftewards. I commuted on my MTB on Tuesday. 19 miles each way with a 2.35 on the front was not fun. Tomorrow will be the road bike.

I brought my clothes in this morning!

Gonna do a partial drive/partial ride because it would take me 2 hours to ride in (and work starts at 7:30).

I think Dan isn't working tomorrow, so he's planning on riding to most/all the aid stations here in SD and documenting it. Thanks for kicking it off!

I'm being a massive "fail" for the first time in three years on Nat'l Bike to Work Week due to a temporary relocation of the 2nd job until next Wednesday and it's sucking- these pics didn't help thanks.

Default Ride to Work Poll

First off, there is a great thread on Bike to Work Day already going: LINKY

So this poll is not meant to take it's place in terms of discussion. I just thought it would be interesting to get some numbers attached to the discussion.

Weird, it's telling you can only add after 5 minutes of posting thread

Sent note to admin. Hopefully I can add the poll or repost.
