Bike to Work Day

If you need an incentive to pedal to the office on Bike to Work Day, consider this: Bicycling burns 350 to 700 calories an hour. And if that's not incentive enough, how about this: When you register for Bike to Work Day, you'll be eligible to win great prizes, including a weekend getaway for two in Napa.

Set for Thursday, May 16, Bike to Work Day is a collaborative effort of RIDES for Bay Area Commuters (which is subsidized by MTC), local bicycle coalitions and hundreds of volunteers.

Numerous local events are being planned for the days and weeks leading up to Bike to Work Day, and more than 100 stations will offer refreshments and encouragement to bicyclists on the morning of Bike to Work Day.

If you can't pedal all the way to work, bike to transit. Most Bay Area transit carriers have bike facilities, such as lockers or bike racks.
