\"Ride<\/a>

Ride to Work Day 2012 was Monday.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

I work at home so I couldn’t ride to work today<\/a>, but I did get out on my bike just so I would be seen. What I’m wondering is, how many other riders got out today? I have a feeling it just wasn’t that many.<\/p>\n

That is to say, I really question whether many people take this thing seriously. I have promoted it for years, and I always get out an ride, but I think I’m in a minority. The idea is great. Swamp the roads with motorcycles and scooters and really impress other motorists with how many of us there are. For a variety of reasons (see previous post). But at least here in Denver I get the impression people either ignore it or don’t even know about it.<\/p>\n

Although I don’t ride to work, I did make a point to ride around down in the Denver Tech Center areas, figuring that’s where a lot of commuters go. As I cruised around I surveyed the parking lots and while I saw a few bikes, there weren’t that many. It looked like the random few you would probably see any day.<\/p>\n

Oh well. At least I got out on a ride today. I hope you did, too, but if you didn’t, hey, your loss.<\/p>\n
