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 over 6,600 bicyclists in 2007.

Participants who pre-register and join in the festivities will receive a FREE T-shirt, refreshments, giveaway prizes and a chance to win bicycles. Please note, you must pre-register and attend a pit stop to receive your freebies and goodies!

Register for the May 2008 event starting March 2008 by visiting www.waba.org. For questions about the Bike to Work Day call the Washington Area Bicyclist Association at (202) 518-0524 or email waba@waba.org.
