Ride 2 Work Day
Get the FS1E out of the shed on 21st July...
The Motor Cycle Industry Association (MCI) has announced that this year's Ride 2 Work Day will take place on 21st July 2004.
The campaign aims to promote motorcycling and highlight the social and environmental benefits associated with riding a motorcycle scooter or moped.
'Motorcycling means freedom ' is this year's campaign theme and the Association is encouraging all motorcyclists and even non-motorcyclists to participate in an activity to demonstrate to the public, press and politicians the number of people who enjoy riding motorcycles and scooters and why they have made the motorcycling choice.
Ride 2 Work Day will highlight that motorcycling:-
· Cuts congestion
· Cuts pollution
· Cuts journey times
· Is convenient and flexible
Craig Carey-Clinch, MCI Director of Public Affairs said, "Ride to Work Day is the opportunity for riders to run fun events such as bikers breakfast and combined runs into work, comparing journey times with car driving colleagues. Other local activities can be organised to support Ride 2 Work Day -- including an event to show the local community how motorcycle use provides real benefits for those who ride -- which can help challenge preconceived ideas about motorcycling. "
The MCI would like to hear from people who may be considering running a local event, so it can be promoted to the media.
Anyone who is interested in organising an event can find out more information on the MCIA's website www.mcia.co.uk . A free organisers pack will be available to download from March 2004.

Ditto and i would now not have it any other way. I have now saved my self a minimum of 2hrs a day in traveling because i use a bike and as the roads are starting to become dry its becoming more fun. Happy Days
Weird, that looks exactly like something I might have written. I smile and wake up a little bit more every morning when I get on the bike.
