Bike to Work Day is Wednesday

Bike to Work Day in Boulder Colorado is filled with fabulous events celebrating the bicycle!From 6:30 – 9am on June 27, 2012, more than 40 breakfast stations throughout town will be serving up free breakfast to those on bike and foot. Some breakfast stations will have mechanics on-site offering light tune-ups for breakfast station visitors. Check here for a full list of 2012 Breakfast Stations and find out which stations are offering Service Stations

Be sure to register so they can get an idea of how many folks will be out and about!

Work from home? No matter, just trade in a car trip for a bike trip and register anyway. It counts!

Walk & Bike Month & Bike to Work Day is not just about biking to work, because some people just can’t do that. It is about choosing the best way to get around each time you leave the house. If you have to go to Erie, maybe you can only drive, but if you live a half a mile from the gym, try biking there next time.

Given all the personal, environmental and global impacts of private automobile use, it is now, more important than ever that Boulder maintain and build on its strong commitment to walking and biking! It starts with every person committing to walk or bike at least one day in June and letting our city government know that being able to walk and bike safely and easily in Boulder is part of what makes our town great!
