Bike to Work Day

The Washington Area Bicyclist Association and Commuter Connections invites you to join thousands of area commuters for a celebration of bicycling as a clean, fun and healthy way to get to work!  Meet up with your neighbors at one of 50 regional pit stops, ride to work with an experienced commuter convoy and wear your FREE Bike to Work Day t-shirt at work with pride. Help the Washington region become a better place to ride.  Bike to Work Day is a FREE event and open to all area commuters.  There will be a raffle prizes, food, drink and more at all pit stops throughout the region.

How Bike to Work Day Works

1) Plan your Route to (and from) Work

There are great resources on the WABA website for route planning. Google Maps also provides directions for traveling by bicycle using bike lanes, trails and route while avoiding hills and traffic! Also consider joining a commuter convoy from your neighborhood. While planning your route, be sure to stop by pit stops for snacks, waters, high-fives and fun! If this is your first time riding, try a practice run of your route before the big day on the weekend when the roads are quieter.

2) Register for a Pit Stop

You've got to register for Bike to Work Day! This enters you in to the regional and local raffles for sweet prizes and bikes. You get a FREE Bike to Work Day t-shirt if you are one of the first 8,500 to register for the event. Please feel free to visit multiple pit stops on Bike to Work Day.

Please note your t-shirt will be waiting at the pit stop you choose while registering!
