Default Weekend Warrior's

I am so disappointed that on the weekends the bike populationgrows exponentially.. Like more bikes then you could ever imagine here in the DFW area. Where thefuch are your people during the week?These people need to trythe joys of commuting during the week..It takes about a week of sticking with it..I guess people are too afraidor they don't want torack up the miles on there bikes.

I don't commute to work since it is only a 6 minute walk from my home. I am riding every night though. I don't worry about the miles I put on because I bought the bike to enjoy it.

I am with 04XL1200C.

Even though I have only had my bike for a week, I bought my bike to ride. I figure that I will buy myself another bike when I wear this one out.[sm=smiley20.gif]

I ride to sit back and relax, take in the sights and unwind. It's kind of hard doing that at 6am in the city with cagers everywhere that don't have any concern about anyones saftey, they just wana be first in line at dunking donuts, then get front row parking at there office building. But when the weekend comes and I'm heading north where there is more deer moose and beers than people in the whole town,thats when I relax. P.S. I didn't spell Bears wrong, but those are for after the ride.

I ride to work unless it's raining. But once I get there I am inside working, so you won't see me out among the bike population. But you will see me on the weekend!
