Bike to Work Day

The work of countless volunteers will come to fruition as all nine Bay Area counties host commuters on bikes. Signing up as a participant in Bike to Work Day not only helps event coordinators measure participation in the event, it also means you’ll be eligible for the chance to win a bike or other prizes. No spandex is required — it’s perfectly fine to bicycle in business attire. So break out that old cruiser, pump up the tires, go to 511.org and register for your chance to win, and get excited about riding to work on May 17.

Placed at strategic locations throughout the Bay Area, and manned by eager and enthusiastic volunteers, Energizer Stations will be your main stop for handouts, free snacks and drinks and encouragement on your May 17 ride to work. Find out where energizer stations are by visiting 511.org.

Bike to Work Day is being organized by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the Bay Area Bicycle Coalition, local biking organizations and hundreds of volunteers.
