Bike to Work

What is Bike to Work Week?

Bike to Work Week is a week long challenge that encourages you to ditch the car at home and pedal to work. Workplace teams compete for thousands of dollars in prizes and individuals can stop by the scheduled events to pick up food and beverage, prizes, resources, support and fun. We have many events planned throughout the week and beyond to make it fun, visible, and successful for everyone - from cycling pros to brand new riders!
