Ride to work day June 15th...

NeonspeedRT · 06-10-2009, 12:57 PM

"June 15th, 2009 will mark the 18th Annual International Ride To Work Day. The FIM is embracing this event throughout its affiliated federations to demonstrate support for road and street riding activities worldwide.

The RTW Day originated in the USA and is now an international event. Riders throughout the world will be riding their bikes and scooters to their workplace on this day to demonstrate that motorcycles are an important form of transportation as well as recreation. Fellow employees, politicians and the general public will be aware of the commuting motorcyclist.

Scooters and motorcycles require much less space to park and manoeuvre in busy cities and relieve traffic congestion. In addition, they use less fuel, cause less pollution and have little impact on the road and bridge infrastructure.

The FIM encourages street riders to participate in this event held worldwide on June 15 in 2009. Ride your motorcycle or scooter to work and show everyone the advantages and responsible use of resources by taking part in this activity.

Additional information on this event can be found at: www.ridetowork.org.

June 15th is a Monday, and since I work a 4-10 schedule, it's my day off... but I might be at a track day that day.
