This Wednesday the 24th is Denver’s own Bike to Work Day.  It is a great opportunity to join fellow workers in seeing the benefits of biking to work along with qualifying for some great prizes and enjoy breakfast along the way.  There is a great website set up with all the information you need.  Click here: Bike to Work Day

 

 

 Biking to work in Colorado is a tradition. The City of Boulder first celebrated Bike to Work Day more than 25 years ago. CDOT then began promoting it statewide, and in 1995 the Denver Regional Council of Governments began helping the area’s cities and counties link their individual events together. Bike to Work Day is celebrated in many communities along the Front Range and in the mountains, but our region’s event is the largest in the state.There are a lot of great reasons to bike to work:

It’s a great way to fit exercise into your day;
Fewer cars on the road means less congestion on roads and pollution in the air;
Cycling energizes you to start your day and de-stresses you afterwards so you arrive at work and home feeling refreshed;
You save a lot of money on gas and maintenance for your car; and
You might surprise yourself by loving it.
