So in Texas we have about 8-9 months of decent - excellent riding weather and I'm wondering if any of you take advantage and ride to work or school on a daily basis or do you hop in your little cage and push it on in? Also what do you normally wear when you're commuting back and forth?

I hate the gravel on the roads in the spring, I dont even want to think about snow in the winter. Props to you guys who ride in winter and stay safe.

Well all i have is my bike i sold my car about a yr and a half ago cause i drove it once a month just because, i ride rain, snow and hail. I don't feel like getting another cage at atm just cause i won't even drive it. Ride or die, rain or shine, the only time i will stop is at the start of the race line

Being a new rider, I will ride as much as possible (weather permitting). I leave my bike at a friend's house and pick it up in the mornings to ride to work.
