Each May thousands of area commuters participate in Bike to Work Day and show their support for bicycling as a clean, fun and healthy way to get to work. Commuter Connections and the Washington Area Bicyclist Association invite you to join us at this popular region wide event. Bike to Work Day encourages commuters to try bicycling to work as an alternative to solo driving. Bike to Work Day is a non-profit event and is open to all commuters in the Washington area. The region’s top elected officials, scores of bicyclists, and volunteer staff support this worthwhile event each year. It has grown enormously attracting nearly 8,000 bicyclists in 2009.
