Ride to work. Work to ride. Yep every day rain is not eminent. It really sets the tone for the day. I think it sharpens my wits and I know it makes me better lookin'.

Ride to work till the temp gets bellow freezing. When it gets above freezing point, bike is back on the road.

I use the bike as daily transportation. The car has some needs I've chosen to put on the back burner for a while and the bike is fine, rain or not!

Been on the bike exclusively for a few months... when the car ran, it was 50/50.

Never ride. It's only 4 miles to my work. I gotta carry too much gear to take the bike, anyway.

I ride to work every chance I get - 120 miles round trip.
If the weather calls for less than 50% rain, then I'm taking the bike.
