Bike to Work Day is June 24th in Boulder Colorado and is filled with fabulous events celebrating the bicycle. Those events are listed below.

From 6:30 – 9 a.m., more than 40 breakfast stations throughout town will be serving up free breakfast to those on bike and foot. Be sure to register (hot link) and make your commute count.

You say you work at home and can’t bike to work? No matter, just trade in a car trip for a bike trip and register anyway. It counts. The more cyclists Boulder can count on Bike to Work Day, the more support we get locally and regionally for bicycle projects.

Walk & Bike Month & Bike to Work Day is not just about biking to work, because some people just can’t do that. It is about choosing the best way to get around each time you leave the house. If you have to go to Erie, maybe you can only drive. But if you live a half a mile from the gym, try biking there next time.

Given the all the personal, environmental and global impacts of private automobile use, it is now more important than ever that Boulder maintain and build on its strong commitment to walking and biking. It starts with every person committing to walk or bike at least one day in June and letting our city government know that being able to walk and bike safely and easily in Boulder is one of the things that makes our town great.
