Leading up to Bike-to-Work Day, national, regional, and local bicycle advocacy groups encourage people to try bicycle commuting as a
Bike-to-Work Day healthy and safe alternative to driving by providing route information and tips for new bicycle commuters. On Bike-to-Work Day, these
bike groups often organize bicycle-related events, and in some areas, pit stops along bicycle routes with snacks.
In 2010 Bike-to-Work day will be on Friday May 21.
Bike-to-Work Day was originated by the League of American Bicyclists in 1956 and is a part
Cyclo-cross of Bike-to-Work Week, which is in turn part of National Bike Month.
.
Bike-to-Work Day is an annual event held on the third Friday of May across the United States and Canada that promotes the bicycle as an option for commuting to work.
