This year, Bike to Work Day is celebrated on Friday, May 20, 2016 in the USA. It's an annual event held in the United States and Canada. It promotes the bicycle as an option for commuting to work.
Biking to work keeps miles off your car's odometer and the fresh air makes you feel great.
Leading up to Bike to Work Day, bicycle advocacy groups encourage people to try bicycle commuting as a healthy and safe alternative to driving. They provide route information and tips for new bicycle commuters.
On Bike to Work Day, a wide variety of bicycle-related events are organized. Bike to Work Day was originated by the League of American Bicyclists in 1956 and is a part of Bike-to-Work Week, which is part of National Bike Month.
