For the twentieth consecutive year, Ride To Work Day has been held to advocate and support the use of motorcycles and scooters for transportation, and providing information about everyday utility riding to the public. Additionally, the non profit organization promotes reduction of traffic and parking congestion, and savings on energy, all while enjoying the ride to work. The idea is to promote motorcyclists' presence on the road as a viable source of transportation.
Today many riders made an extra effort to ride their motorcycles to and from work. Others didn't need a special day to ride, as they already use their bikes as primary modes of transportation.
According to USA Today News reporter, Natalie DiBlasio, Andy Goldfine, organizer of the event, expects to see more than one million riders take to the roads today. That's quite a goal since it's more than triple the 300,000 riders who the US Census Bureau claims commute to work on any given work day in the United States. Still, the event is international taking place all over the world, and with those numbers included, the 300,000 might not be too difficult to reach.
Next week, on the last Monday of June, the Harley-Davidson motor company will hold their fourth annual Million Mile Monday. It was launched in 2008 as a way to get Harley Owner's Group riders all on the road at the same time, for no particular reason except to ride and have fun and celebrate the joy and freedom of the open road on a motorcycle. Throughout the day, riders across the world will log their miles on the road and print commemorative certificates of their accomplishment. "The important to budget travel is to prepare in advance. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the fact of cost and budgeting is often in the back of our thoughts. Organizing and consuming our travel budget properly is a main concern for most families. Curbing expending and charges, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain accomplishment and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding protecting money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal budget is highly small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, regardless of whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel bill!..". An on line counter will keep track of all the miles logged. In 2010, H.O.G. members collectively logged more that 4,000,000 miles, and this year they expect to increase those numbers significantly. In fact, for the first year, the motor company has invited all riders, regardless of their brand of bike, to join in on the fun. Inviting riders of other motorcycle brands to join our members on Million Mile Monday is all about sharing the passion for riding and the Harley-Davidson brand that makes the Harley Owners Group such a unique riding club, said H.O.G. Manager Joe Dowd. Plus its just a great reason to get out on the road and ride, regardless of what.
