Just a reminder, I know for some of us EVERY day is "Ride to Work Day," but tomorrow/Wednesday is doubly so: ridetowork.org/

I'm even going to ride in the rain if I need to - which upsets me a bit considering how long I spent polishing up the bike for the big ride last weekend.

Hope to see you out there.

I'm an everyday rider since March.. I have driven my truck exactly 3 times in the past 4 months. Part of my triple raise/get my ass outta debt program.. I busted my boss' balls for a rather large raise (and got it), I quit smoking, and I switched to my bike as my primary ride. I'm making $400 extra a month at work, saving $35 a week not buying cigarettes, and saving almost $100 a week in gas.. I'm going to be buying my first house by the end of the year so I need all the money I can save Smile

It's raining here in Philadelphia. I ride every day that it's not. I feel bad that I couldn't take part, but safety first.

I finally caught the Michigan Secretary of State (they do our DMV stuff) on a day when they weren't having computer problems (was Evil or Very Mad now Very Happy ), so now that I have my endorsement, I was planning to ride to work today anyway (and the next day, and so on.) It's a nice little trip.

Congratulations on quiting smoking! I am now smoke free for 2.5 years and counting. I smoked 2 packs a day (give or take), and even puffed on occasion. Since buying my bike, it is my only transportation as well (for money and for the fun of riding it)... Anyhow, congratulations again. Keep it up, and remember if you ever think of smoking again, remind yourself the fight the first week was w/o a cigarette and tell yourself you'd have to go through that again even if you smoked just one cig!
