Last year we reported on this event and apparently people responded by riding their bikes to work, school and for leisure that day. All due to us here at Guilty Truth! Sure, yeah, right. Seriously, this movement has taken on quite a following over the last 18 years and we hope to help by spreading the word. But then again, our readers rarely need an excuse to throw a leg over their bike to ride. Check it out and participate. “Ride To Work Day“, June 15th.
Here is interesting facts:

On Ride to Work Day, there are an estimated 150,000 additional Ride to Work Day commuting motorcycles and 150,000 less commuting car, light truck and SUV’s. A 6 mile (avg) commute x 2 (both ways) x 150,000 commutingcar, light truck and SUV’s = 1,800,000 car, light truck and SUV miles. 1,800,000 car, light truck and SUV miles / 20mpg (avg) = 90,000 gallons. 90,000 less car, truck and SUV gallons – 30,000 more gallons used on Ride to Work Day = 60,000 less gallons of fuel used on Ride to Work Day. If every work day were Ride to Work Day, 60,000 gallons saved x 250 work days = 15,000,000 less gallons used per year.

Ok, you know now. So, get out there and RIDE!
