Ride every chance I can to work but don't get many these days because of carpooling with wife & sister. It's therapy.
But I have told my boss & co-workers that if I'm ever on the way in and "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin or "Train, Train" by Blackfoot comes on the radio, I'm calling in.

Before I retired last year, I would ride to work whenever possible. Funny thing though, when I rode to work, it was about a 150 mile round trip. When I took the car, it was only about 40 miles. Never did quite understand how that could be, but it invariably did.

Thats part of my problem too. I have dress better than jeans and t-shirt for work, need my laptop and other stuff. My neighbor works for me so I put all my stuff in his car this morning including a change of clothes. I took the long way to work also.

I ride to work almost every day of the year. That's the best thing about living in the Valley of the Sun, it's always riding season.

When you get your rain gear get the best pair because you will use it alot. Or you will be a poser telling people it's going to rain this week (I can't ride in the rain) and never ride just poser as a biker. I myself work in the office have to wear office clothes but I still can ride a motorcycle with those clothes with a cover all or rain gear. Get a life and ride before you get to old to get off that porch.

I have the same problem! The guys I work with are the same ones I ride with on the weekends and we have been known to have "belly aches" on the way to work! Nothing like calling off of work on a nice summer day and just riding right past work!
