I rode every day, rain or shine, from Apr/Oct. It was a nice 40 mile round trip commute. Usually put 2000 or less miles on the car during that time.

Don't miss it...because I don't miss working.

I’ve been riding mine to work since 2014. Sometimes work is as close as 100 miles but usually it is at least 1,000 miles. I have a fun commute.

If you're retired in Las Vegas, you have to find a different reason to ride. Like 120 miles one-way to Laughlin for a Bubba Gumps lunch. But it still counts as work, 'cos it's uphill with a headwind both ways.

Now that I'm retired from the fire dept, I plan on riding to work more often.

What is this "winter" of which you speak? We moved to FL to avoid cold wx ops.

I have a 49 mile commute one way. I have ridden the Spyder a few times, but its a high price machine. Don't just want to wear it out so fast. So I have a low cost Honda NT700V 2 wheeler. Have been averaging 32,000 miles a year for 9 yrs now. 2018 was total around 34,500. 12,000 miles on Spyder and 22,500 on NT. But I have ridden those miles only on NT before Spyder in Mar '17

:agree:

I have ridden every bike I ever owned to work for over 50 years. Including the Spyder. I rode every day up until I retired. Great way to go to work.

Retired now, but when I was working in the brick business, I rarely rode the RT to work. I needed to drive a truck to carry all my tools and for picking up materials.

I ride to work, weather permitting. Will be a few more weeks before winter leaves us.

I will be doing the same here. We still have a lot of snow on ground here also. It will be awhile here also.

I used to ride to work when I was still a teacher. My wife is still working and commutes 75 miles roundtrip each day on her Spyder between Pueblo and Fountain when weather permits..

Blizzard warnings today, so she took the car hyea:

I think we are down to accepting anyone who has a "Spryker." :yes:

 

[Deanna777]

I 'll ride my spyder to work after the snow melts, and the roads have no salt on them.

I'm another daily commuter. Like many in warmer climes, my main concern is rain -- during the summer we have a lot of afternoon thunderstorms, so those are days I use the bike as an excuse to skip out a little early and, oh, yeah, "work from home." (Actually, not such a wink wink, nudge nudge kind of thing these days -- I do spend a fair bit of time after hours on work matters which I'm looking forward to dialing back before too much longer.)

I have a pretty short ride, but fortunately a reverse commute so I can crank up the speed a bit for a brief while and clear my head. Don't know that I would enjoy it if I was going bumper-to-bumper for very long.

I ride to work. The rain has cut my riding time in half this year. We had the most rain since 1850 !

 

[grumpyoldretiredcop]

I do, weather permitting. I got in one riding day last month.

 

[IronWolf]

Whenever the weather allows I ride it to work. DFW traffic sucks so have to really watch for the idiots who cut in front of you during rush hour when there's hardly more that a foot between vehicles.

When the weather index is above my wimp threshold, (min 40F in the morning when the sun shines) I ride 'nid to work every day. I guess I should mention work consists mostly of lifting the coffee mug to my lips down at the local coffee shop!! :roflblack:
