Bike To Work Day History

Bike to Work Day seeks to encourage people to bike to work. This day aims to highlight the benefits of biking to work as well as biking in general. Biking can reduce carbon emissions, reduce traffic congestion, and help improve lives. The physical activity of bike riding can improve cardiovascular health and help maintain a healthy weight. This day encourages everyone to find some time to ride a bike whether it be to work or just for fun.

Bike to Work Day was established in 1956 by the League of American Bicyclists. It is observed annually on the third Friday of May.
