Ride to Work, TODAY!

The annual Ride To Work Day moves to the ‘third Monday in June.’ That's Today. It is the 18th annual Ride to Work Day. Reasons for an earlier annual Ride to Work Day include:

• The new day is not as hot in most northern hemisphere areas, and not as cold in most southern hemisphere areas. June weather is more favorable worldwide.
• The new day provides an increased opportunity for more riders to Ride to Work. Many workplaces close for summer holiday in July - especially in Europe.
• A Monday event encourages motorcycle and scooter commuting to continue during the entire week.
• Positive media exposure will increase. Sundays are slower ‘news days’ so there will be more coverage like this: “Look for more motorcycles on your commute tomorrow, as Monday is the annual Ride to Work day...”
• The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) has endorsed this day, and is promoting the ‘Third Monday in June’ worldwide as the annual Ride to Work Day.

So here at The Craftsman B&B in Pacific City, Oregon, Mike and Laura like to ride. Mike does not ride to work, when he wakes up, he is at work. Laura's office is a block away, so she walks to work. They do like to ride on Sunday afternoons. Mike rides a Ducati Monster and Laura ride a Stella scooter.

Did you know the we offer discounts to guests that ride their motorcycle, scooter or bicycle to the B&B. Stay 2 nights and get 10% off. It is one of our Green Discounts. We also discount for Ducati Monster Forum users and Oregon Scooter Club members, riding or not.

So when you are out on the roads today, keep an eye out for the 2 wheeled travelers, I hope you see a lot!
