12,700 Attend DC Region's Bike To Work Day

Besting last year's record attendance by almost 2,000 participants, nearly 12,686 people registered and attended this year's Bike To Work Day. Congrats to Commuter Connections, WABA, local governments and local BIDS for putting on such great events throughout the DC region. And congrats to all the first time bike commuters out there too! We're proud to say that sixteen percent of all participants and three of the top six attended Pit Stops were in Silver-Level Bicycle Friendly Arlington. Let's see if the region can hit 20,000 next year!
