I think commuting on a bike is the best. Nothing turns a sh!tty day into a good one like riding my bike home. (Usually the long way )

I can't see getting tired of it. I look for any dumb reason to hop on her... Rode today in 20 degrees... Refreshing, considering when I left the house it was 50... Wore the half helmet and, didnt bring the balaclava, or my jacket liner... Weather turned on me whilst I was in class. Gotta love it though! I probably havn't gone more than 2 weeks this winter without riding, which is amazing for NE.

Been real 'mild' outside for the past couple of days, around 70 degrees.....

Sleeveless t-shirt weather, and I put close to 400 miles on my FatBoy yesterday and today....

But all good things must come to an end, and they are calling for temps in the upper teens and snow Friday night, Saturday morning.

i rode bikes before I drove cars, so I have a mindset of thinking of bikes as a day to day vehicle as most people think of their cars. and I think of cars as either a utility vehicle to carry large loads or lots of people at once, or a fun machine like a corvette or porsche. I dont really think of cars as daily drivers as much as I do bikes, so I'll get tired of driving before riding


what if I asked you guys who ride on weekends, Do you get tired of driving a car? no becuase your so used to it

its all subjective to who your asking everyone has different experience lets leave it at that

I agree with 2 points,I'm tired of NOT riding & I'm tired of working to much to not be able to ride as much as I want to! We have been getting a day or 2 spurts of warm weather where I can ride but I have been working 6 days a week lately. My boss took off to Daytona today

I grew up with cars, after my dad damn near totalled his bike, mom wouldn't let me near them. That is until she realised I was old enough to make my own decisions and can't control my world anymore.

I find that I would ride everyday once I have enough experience.

I have an office job that doesn't require the meeting of clients or carrying of anything so it would be a pretty easy change from the car to a bike. Boots, jacket, helmet, gloves, bike. Now I just have dress pants, dress shoes, short sleeve/long sleeve shirts, car. Just need to add the extra attire.
