Ride to Work Day - June 15

The June 15 national grass-roots effort is more relevant than ever. Motorcycles and scooters are a great way to save some green while being more environmentally green. Just the thought of two-wheel commuting can make the work day more pleasant. You arrive to work with a smile and throughout the day have the ride home to look forward to. What a pleasant thought. When I worked for a large, mad ad agency, I would sometimes restore my balance by peering out a ninth floor window to imagine myself on an adventure, riding one of the motorcycles parked below.

Motorcycles and scooters really can help reduce traffic congestion, economic, and ecological troubles if more people ride to work. With gas prices inexplicably rising again, the economic rationale to ride to work is more compelling.

While motorcycle population is growing (up 19 percent from 2003 to 2008), less than 10 percent American households rode a bike last year. Ride to work and introduce motorcycles to your colleagues.
