Who else bikes to work?
I admit, I only 1/2 bike to work - I cheat and use MAX for 1/2

I bike to work every day, rain or shine. Not that it's very far, but I do bike to work.

I bike or walk to school everyday.
Sometimes I ride to work, but usually I don't have enough time to ride and use the bus."These are crazy times Mr Hatter, crazy times. Crazy like Buddha! Muwahaha!"

Prior to someone relieving me of my bike, about 2 or 3 days a week, fair weather only though.
Skiing, where my mind is even if my body isn't.

I'm one of those asshole bike nazis that slaps cars and confronts drivers at traffic signals, then rolls the light. Total scofflaw cyclist giving all the reflective vest wearing, hand signalling, road sharing BTA members an ulcer.
That said, I always wear my helmet, take responsibility for my actions, and support my bicycle advocacy groups.another Handsome Boy graduate

I ride my dope ass cruiser to work every day when the snow's gone. Nothing like liesurely pedaling a nice cruiser in the sun on your way to da office.

I did yesterday.
Now that the bike path is clear of snow I will ride more regularly, but not every day.A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Everyday
I ride to school almost everyday. Only if interviewing or having a meeting off-campus do I drive.
Then again, La La does have great weather for it. In SF I rode most days as well.He who has the most fun wins!

I bike to work spring through fall, but that may change if I can't find a safe route from my new house. This city is definitely not biker friendly.

I ride a fixed gear to work every day. A 40 mi. RT commute with about 80% of it on super cool bike path that follows a river.
Life is not a dress rehearsal.

I've commuted daily for about 10 years. It's part of my life. I make sure to always live within cycling distance of work.
Living in NorCal makes it easier, but you still have to sack up on rainy winter days.

So I move to a really cool town that is known to be one of the best biking towns in the country (Serotta is 200 yards from my workplace), and won't be able to bike to work because I'll be working 'til 1 am. Way too many drunks at that hour.
But I'll get some.

On occasion once the weather gets warm It's about a 25 mile trip. That may change this year, though, now that the state of CT is f***ing with the ferry service that gets me across the mighty CT river. I often drive the bike to work, and then do all work related errands via cycle...
