Bike to Work Tips
So you'd like to try bike commuting?
Our Bike to Work program is designed to make it easy for you to give biking to work a try. We have Bike Buddies, who can give you help in planning a route, can give advice on gear, and are willing to ride in with you. Our Bike to Work breakfasts provide the opportunity to meet up with other bike commuters AND enjoy free breakfast, and bike schwag. Regular bike commuters have set up meet ups so you can ride in with a group to the bike to work breakfast locations. There are several bike Commute classes taking place, check our listing to see if there is one near you.
