Bike to Work Day 2008

Join 800 area commuters for a celebration of bicycling as a clean, fun, and healthy way to get to work! On the morning of May 16 join a bicycle commuter caravan along various routes in Arlington which visit one of the two pit stops available in the County - in Rosslyn and Crystal City. If you work in Arlington, then welcome, you did it! If you work in downtown D.C., the caravan will be continuing to Freedom Plaza after spending some time at the Arlington pit stops.

The Rosslyn pit stop located at 1300 Lee Highway (Gateway Park at the intersection of Lee Highway and Lee Street) is sponsored by Arlington County’s BikeArlington program and will be open between 7:00 - 9:30 am. At this pit stop commuters will find breakfast snacks and beverages, bike-related prizes, music, and the comradery of others who are first time bike commuters to seasoned bike commuters.

New to Bike Commuting? Plan Your Trip

If you're new to bike commuting and don't know the trails well, consider looking at the Arlington Bike Map to determine where you will meet up with the bicycle commuter caravan. As the caravans are for the trip into the office, if you need route assistance for your trip home, consider meeting up with the caravan leader, coworker, or friend from the caravan from your trip home.

Also, visit BikeArlington's commuting page for info on what to wear for your commute. For shorter trips, work clothes could be fine. For longer trips, consider wearing exercise clothes. If you have any questions on what your route could be or how to prepare, contact BikeArlington at 703.228.0638.

 

Bike to Work Day is sponsored by Arlington County, Washington Area Bicyclist Association, and Commuter Connections who invite you to try bicycling to work as an alternative to driving. Bike to Work Day is a FREE event and open to all area commuters.
