Bike to Work Day is Rolling Up
Biking to work is easier than you think. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself... on May 16.
You'll be surprised just how nice biking to work really is. With 24 miles of bike lanes and 46 miles of trails, most of Arlington's neighborhoods are within proximity of great bike facilities which connect to Arlington's commercial corridors, Metro stations, and downtown DC.
Bike to Work Day is an opportunity for folks new to cycling and those who are recreational cyclists to ride with others at a casual pace to the Bike to Work Day celebration nearest their worksite. The event is free and a t-shirt will be provided to the first 7,000 registrants who register by this Friday (May 9).
Arlington will have two Bike to Work Day pitstops - one at Rosslyn's Gateway Park (the intersection of Lee Highway and Lynn St., just off the Custis Trail) and at Crystal City Water Park (1750 Crystal Dr., just off the Mt. Vernon Trail). The Rosslyn pitstop will have beverages, snacks, music, prizes, and comraderie with fellow bike to workers.
Contact the Washington Area Bicyclist Association at 202.518.0524 or email to learn more about how to prepare for biking to work and to register. We'll see you there!
