Default How many miles do you ride per day?

If you are fortunate enough to be able to ride your bike everyday or on any sort of regular basis do you ride? This is for all the people that think they can' ride to work or whatever. Let's show em that plenty of people use a motorcycle as daily transportation. I only ride an average of 10 miles a day, but nearly every day. Wife drives the car until I get her a scoot.

When the weather is good, 200 to 500 miles a week for work, get time and mileage [8D]

I ride daily for transportation, errands and pleasure. My bike is my only transportation at the moment. I have a nice '90 Buick Regal Custom (2dr cage), but I'm in no hurry to fix it.

I ride about 250 - 400 miles a week and love every single minute of it! [8D]

I've averaged about 250kms/week (thanks to my kick *** trip that was 3500 kms). 0 kms during the week as parking is very expensive downtown. 50-150 kms on weekends depending what's going on.

Default RE: How many miles do you ride per day?

Ride every day unless it's raining when I'm ready to leave for work. Bout the only time I'm in the car is to get groceries once in a while. Average about a thousand mile a month,fourty or fifty miles a day on work days and a couple of hundred on off days.

It's got to where I feel kinda claustrophobic in a car. I rather be ridin' in the rain than be dry in a car.

Good Luck

Tom
