17th Annual Ride to Work day, Wednesday 16th July 2008.

Ride to Work Day is a day for all bike and scooter users to get out and about on their bikes and ride to work, ideally with a pillion. Part of National Motorcycle week - 14 July 2008 - 18 July 2008


"Now's The Time" is the slogan for Ride To Work Day 2008, so don't delay, get yourself on two wheels and get involved,' says Frank Finch, Head of Motorcycle Associations for the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF)

Ride To Work Day takes place next Wednesday (16 July 2008). The event highlights the benefits of using a motorcycle or scooter to travel to and from work.

Thousands of motorcycle owners will be on the road and Finch believes it is a great idea: 'Riding to work is beneficial for everyone. It is a quicker commute for the riders, and as a bike occupies far less space on the road than a car, it reduces congestion. With motorcycles and scooters typically being far more economical than a car and with fuel costs rising, it is also a cheaper option.'

Ride To Work Day will show the benefits of commuting on two wheels:
· cuts congestion
· cuts pollution
· cuts journey times
· Lower fuel costs
· convenient and flexible

Finch adds: 'Ride To Work events will be held all over the country on Wednesday 16 July. Contact your nearest motorcycle dealer to find out more.

Ride To Work Day is part of National Motorcycle Week 2008, organized by the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCI). It is the annual campaign that demonstrates the value and popularity of motorcycling in the UK, as wells as the social, environmental and economic benefits.

According to Finch, there will be a lot going on: 'During the week many RMIF member dealers will also be organising special evening ride-out events to support Ride To Work Day. Ride-outs are increasingly popular with many motorcyclists, as they enable riders to enjoy their machines, and meet other owners and enthusiasts who have discovered the benefits of taking to two wheels. They are held throughout the year.'



Ride your motorcycle or scooter on this day to demonstrate : -

* The number of motorcyclists to the general public and to politicians.

* That motorcyclists are from all occupations and all walks of life.

* That motorcyclists can reduce traffic and parking congestion in large cities.

* That motorcycles are for transportation as well as recreation.

* That motorcycling is a social good.
