I am a regular commuter to work on my Ninja 650r so I know I will be riding to work on June 21st.

What about you?

www.RideToWork.org has a mission to get more riders to take their scoots to work with them.  The benefits are less congested freeways, easier parking, fuel savings, and it is fun.  My daily commute allows me to clear my head of the days clutter.  I look forward to my ride to and from work.

So, check out their website and leave a comment if you want to commit to riding your scoot to work on Monday, June 21st.

I’ll see you on the road,
Kevin

Largest Annual Motorcycle and Scooter Ride To Work Day Expected on Monday, June 21st, 2010

This year more riders are finding cycles and scooters to be an economical, efficient and fun way to commute. Because of this, the 19th annual worldwide Ride to Work Day is expected to be one of the largest-ever, according to Ride to Work, the non-profit organization that coordinates this annual event.

In the United States, over eighty million cars and light trucks are used for daily commuting, and about 200,000 motorcycles and scooters are a regular part of this mix. On Ride to Work Day, the practical side of riding becomes more visible as a large number of America’s 8,000,000 cycles and scooters are ridden to work.

Ride to Work Day helps demonstrate how these vehicles make parking easier and help traffic flow better. Studies have shown that across equal distances, commuting motorcyclists reach their destinations in less time than those using automobiles, and that motorcycles and scooters consume less resources per mile, and that they take up less space on roads.

Motorcycle and scooter riders seek improved employer recognition and support for this form of transportation, and more public and government awareness of the positive value of riding.
