Bike to Work Day June 25th!

Are you getting frustrated with the high price of gas and heavy traffic on the roads? Have you been wondering how you can fit more exercise into your day?

Bike to Work Day is the answer to all these problems, and a lot of fun to boot. Wednesday, June 25, is this year's Bike to Work Day, mark your calendar!

Bike to Work Day is an annual event that encourages people to try a different way of commuting. If you've never commuted by bike before, it's the perfect time to try: there's lots of support available for you on Bike to Work Day! After trying just once, you may decide to make it a regular routine, once a week or a few times a month. About 20,000 people throughout the metro area got on their bikes last year, and more are expected in 2008.

Great things you'll get when you register for Bike to Work Day:
-Automatic entry into a drawing for lots of great prizes
-Free breakfast at any one of about 100 bike stops throughout the region on the morning of the event
-Fresh air and exercise while you get to work

You can register under ALD and find all the information and resources for biking to work (routes, tips, etc) here: http://www.drcog.org/btwd2008/index.cfm

Bike to Work Day is organized locally by the Denver Regional Council of Governments, a nonprofit organization of more than 50 local cities and counties working together to solve regional problems such as traffic congestion.
