How often do you ride?

[veeeffarr]

No doubt it's been posted before, but just wanted to try and get a cross section of what type of riders use this forum.

I'm "Most".

[FreshAL]

Commute every day of the week.

Bike is my only transport, so I ride most weekends as well.

Only don't ride when
1) Lots of ice on the ground
2) I'm still too drunk in the morning after the night before (like today)

[dainesefreak]

2nd from bottom, used to be all. Now I don't see the point, I'd rather stay able bodied and keep my bike in one piece.

[Bendy]

'When I feel like it'.

It's not weather related, it's mood and purpose related.

[Dark]

I have no other mode of transport, ice is fun

Though i cant afford to use it and have done approx 80 miles this week, compared to the usual 200/250

I ride my bike everyday as its my only means of transportation and at weekends I generally end up exploring somewhere. Really bad weather is what usually stops me riding.

The Blade's my only form of personal transportation (except for the pushbike), but I only ride it when the weather's good - which is a shame, as I used to ride all year round.

Once I get a second bike, I'll put a stop to my fair weather riding inclinations.

[innominate]

Every day.

Its for commuting.
As long as Ican get out of my estate (never gitted) then the weather is good enough for riding.

[kawakid]

Commute March - November, too much salt Dec, Jan & Feb and untreated ice, its just not worth it where I live. There's even an outside ski slope that opens when it snows, with pullys and everything. So yes I have ski'd on snow but never abroad.

Only have 1 car & 1 bike, thus wife uses car during the week, I tend to only use car at weekends.

I intend to buy a crap car for winter and the sell it come March.

[mr.z]

Most of the time, didn't use it when it was snowing if i'd had a cg i would have, (i was trying to build one back up for such an occasion)

And when things that are not possible to carry on a bike (allthough this didn't include a zxr750 minus the frame, engine and wheels, its still a shitload of stuff let me tell ye)

If i had a new shiney bike i'd only ride in the sun, but i don't, i chose my bike because it will ride though any shat thats thrown at it, really hate driveing a car tbh..

Its 365 for me (actually 364 cos I did miss one day last year after it took me 1/2 hour to get 3 miles on the ice so I turned round and went home/ bussed it in in the afternooon)

[EllioTT_GiXXeR]

365, ridden when there was black ice, bits of ice, couldn't give a damn really

If its a weekend and i aint got work and its raining alot then i will wait for it to clear before i move, at work its in a garage so its good.

If I'm going for a ride out with mates then it don't matter but if I just need to get somewhere like work and its rainin or shitty and cold then I take the car.

Why ? because I can. As much as I enjoy the bike I don't see the point of being wet and cold at work when I don't need to.

I must admit to laughin at any poor git on a bike in the pissin down cold rain when Im in the cage with the heater on and the wipers goin. Thinkin to myself "ya poor bastard"

I have to admit i am a weekend warrior now.

I use my car when it raining cold or the weather just looks shite.

Bike for the sun and quite nice & warm weather.

I would still occasionally ride in the rain because sometimes is quite fun but having the choice of both pwns.

[yambabe]

What Bendy says.

I happily admit to being a (mostly) fair-weather biker.

However, I like to think I make the most of that fair weather, and I don't mind foul weather if I've got something booked or whatever!

Only commute occasionally (and my commute is only 2 miles each way, so 10 miles a week hardly counts) but I average about 4000-5000 miles a year at the moment.

So you tell me which of those categories I fit into, cos I haven't got a clue!

Just to clarify.

I'm not trying to measure "How much of a biker everyone is", as in my views that's just about the saddest thing anyone can do in a group of people. I'm just curious as to how much riding everyone does.

Still haven't seen your bike Jo Was around that way about 6.30 last night.

[Mark_petty]

i'm a weekend warrior as my work is only 10 minutes walking distance away

I go out in the evenings in the week after work as well.

tbh i don't mind as it keeps the bike looking good and mileage down as well.

but i will be moving house soon so I will use it every day

If the weather's nice in the morning diary permitting I'll ride my bike to work. So, at the moment I ride every day.

Bendy summed it up pretty well
