2-3 times a week. I'm still cautious about taking it out at all.

I ride mine almost every day. Right now it's in the shop. I think I'll deffidently be riding it every day after getting it back. Sunny California is deffidently the place to ride a bike during the summer. (It never rains here during the Summer)

I dont mind the 90 + degree hot, humid sun here, but we died riding the last 2 days. Lately, I've only been riding 2-3 max a week. Work, and other bs gets in the way. And this is when I'm not in school for the summer

I think the funniest thing I've seen was a guy who was not wearing a shirt and had shrimp boots on. (They are like thick, really high rain boots) No, he wasn't riding a cruiser. I can't remember what type of sports bike he was on, but it was a funny as hell. I saw this in the backwoods of the bayou, outside of New Orleans, Louisiana.

I don't count mileage... any monkey can rack up miles on the freeway. I go through a front and rear set every 3 months or so

My bike has been my only form of transportation since March, when my '76 CVCC decided to go to Honda heaven.

Does anyone NOT ride their bike because it's too hot? It was like 104 here yesterday and I rode mine and sweat to death. I was thinking about cutting back for the hot days.

All the weather sites say it's only 97°F today, but it feels like 197°F. The mornings are nice, and lunch is half way decent. But after work.... HOT!

I've only been riding it 15 miles each way to work and back. So not too much right now. I will ride it more when it cools off. It's supposed to get to 103°F by this Friday.

It's damn near too hot to drive your car. I could probably bake some bread in my car while I work. Should be done when it's time to go home.
