Bike to Work Day on Friday May 16

A growing number of people commute to their workplaces every day by bicycle. And on the city’s Bike To Work Day on Friday, May 16, they will be joined by Austinites discovering for the first time how fast, easy, and healthy it is to travel by bike from home to work and back.

Bike Austin is partnering with local businesses to set up “fueling stations” across the city to greet and educate Bike To Work participants during both morning and evening commutes.

The mission of Bike To Work Day is to attract new bicyclists to commuting while rewarding those who already use their bikes to commute. Commuters improve our community by decreasing traffic congestion and reducing air pollution. Cycling commuters also arrive at work in better health and more alert. This year’s event is going to be extra special.
