Bike to Work Day

Celebrate Bike Commuting in Arlington!

Join Commuter Connections, the Washington Area Bicyclist Association, BikeArlington, and thousands of District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia residents who will use pedal power as a healthy, sustainable, and fun commuting option on Bike to Work Day, coming up this Thursday, May 15.

This year, this annual event will feature more than 100 Bike to Work Day event “pit stops” throughout the DMV. Each pit stop offers different benefits to participants. Some of the larger pit stops have live entertainment, free refreshments, and giveaways. Many provide valuable resources and services that support bicycling, including free bike checks and free copies of local and regional bike maps and bicycling guides. Whether a pit stop is large or small, all have the same positive energy and sense of community that make this a memorable, enjoyable event.

The first 18,000 people to register for Bike to Work Day also receive a free, commemorative Bike to Work Day T-shirt. Many people who look forward to this event every year collect the T-shirts and have shirts dating back many years. If you’re new to this event, the T-shirt will be a great reminder to keep riding your bike to work. It’s good for you and good for the environment! Use the BikeArlington Bicycle Comfort Level Map to plan your route in Arlington.

Arlington is proud to host eight Bike to Work Day pit stops. Last year, Arlington’s Ballston and Rosslyn pit stops tied as the biggest pit stops in the region in terms of participation numbers.
