Champion 8903   | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day I might. It depends if I go in, as I usually have Friday off (4 day work week) unless its real busy. Plus I would have to work a day shift instead of my normal 3 PM - 1 AM routine. OK, was that confusing enough? LOL |

| Master 1315 Shreveport, LA | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day I would like to do this but my wife does not like me to ride with all of the traffic on my route to work. I have only 2 ways of going to work. Interstate - which I believe is illegal to ride a bike on and way too dangerous Major City Road- a huge down hill along a busy street that leads to a busy interstection |

Extreme Veteran 724 Delray Beach, FL | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day No way... I couldn't check any of the options.... I live close enough (10 miles) but I do not ride my bike to work (I may consider if gas prices go over $3 a gallon LOL). There has been plenty bike accidents around my work area including a death and recently a coworker who got a broken shoulder after he was hit by a car... Nope, not me.... |

Master 1927 Chicago | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day Hit Not sure. I've been trying to find a way to bike to work that doesn't encompass too much traffic. Where I live there are lots of bike paths (cool) but where I work there's lots of suburban sprawl (booo). I could ride my mountain bike (there's trail) but that takes to freakin' long. So I'm going to try to ride my bike tomorrow and hope I don't get squished. O! |

Expert 936 Westchester County NY | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day I'd need a little trailer to attach to my bike to load all the equipment I take to school with me. That would be very scary trying to negotiate the streets I take over to New Rochelle on Friday mornings with a trailer attached to my bike. I'd love to be able to ride to work, but it just wouldn't work in my case. |

Extreme Veteran 494 Horse Country | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day I voted "It's going to rain." That might not keep me off the bike, depending on precisely *when* it's going to rain. I need to check the hourly forecast on Accuweather. If it's a monsoon day, I won't - too much risk of frying the laptop in the rain - but if it's only supposed to be afternoon showers, I may. |

Extreme Veteran 574 Crossville, TN | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day I will have my bike with me, for I am leaving for my 1st tri, right after work. |

| Extreme Veteran 573 IL | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day 35 miles of the 294 expressway outside Chicago, not going to happen. Illegal and dangerous. I wish there was a bike route though. |

Extreme Veteran 494 Horse Country | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day Checked the weather. Only a 50% chance of showers during the AM ride time, clearing to p/c 25% chance on the PM ride. Looks like I'm a go, unless something non-weather-related stops me.  |

| Veteran 120 Ankeny, Iowa | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day We are actually having bike to work week. Today was the first day I was able to ride due to other activities scheduled after work. My trip is 19.2 miles one way, I am going to change my route home so that I get over 40 miles total for the day. A guy I work with rode 50 miles one way yesterday. |

Expert 852 Evergreen, Colorado Bronze member | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day They do a big bike to work day in Denver every June that, for whatever reason, doesn't coincide with national bike to work week (maybe cuz the weather here can be nasty in May? I dunno...). So I didn't even know there was a bike to work day tomorrow!! I'm still debating doing the one in June - I would have to ride 35 miles each way which is possible, but the thought of showing up to work in spandex shorts in front of my all-male coworkers gives me the heebie-jeebies. They do a good job with the event though - free breakfast and lots of other goodies. They make it fun!! Have fun all of you that are going to ride to work tomorrow! |

| St. Louis, MO | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day I wish I was... I even exhanged emails with a bike mentor to try and get a good route. I drove it, but traffic seemed kinda iffy- especially for the way home. Still trying to make it work to help with gas and training. To those of you participating- HAVE FUN! |

Elite Veteran 628 Atlanta, GA | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day I did it! 5 miles and 22 minutes later, I'm safe and sound at work. Thankfully there wasn't much traffic. Did anyone else ride to work??? |

Master 2288 Katy, TX (West of Houston) | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day 1st half of Ride Your Bike To Work Day! 23 miles to work, 21.23 avg 1hr 5min ride. I was only honked at 4 times this morning-not bad for Houston. It was a pretty good ride, I left at 5:45 thinking it would take longer, but I was here in great time. It takes me 50 mins to drive and 1 hr 5 mins to ride....I think that changes things a bit. Edited by Freeswimmingfish 2005-05-20 8:57 AM |

Extreme Veteran 494 Horse Country | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day YES. I would know that he or she was as serious about his/her own health as he/she was about mine - AND that he/she understood my lifestyle. In my particular case, I ditched my GP who thought I was nuts for doing a Tri in favor of one that gives me stroke tips (still active former collegiate swimmer/basketball player). |

Extreme Veteran 494 Horse Country | Subject: RE: Friday, May 20th - National Bike to Work Day Wuss. J/K. I skipped out on it too, but because of a time crunch. I'll hopefully be doing it pretty regularly this summer as well... weather and schedule permitting. |
