Alexandria to Take Part in Bike to Work Day

Tired of sitting in endless traffic? Looking for a healthier way to get to work? The Department of Transportation and Environmental Services will be hosting the annual Alexandria Bike to Work Day on Fri., May 2 from 6:45 am to 9 am at the Market Square fountain in front of City Hall “pit stop” at 301 King St.

The event is both a celebration of“Clean Air Month” to promote air quality, and “National Bike Month” to promote the bicycle as a means of transportation and recreation.

As part of the initiative by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, the purpose of the event is to promote bicycling as an option for getting to and from work. By using bicycles, commuters can help to reduce the number of cars on the roads and decrease vehicle gas emissions.

Celebrations will be taking place at 15 different locations around the region, with the hub celebration occurring at Freedom Plaza in downtown DC. Each “pit stop” will offer breakfast, snacks, entertainment, dynamic speakers and chances to win bicycles and other prizes. Register by April 18th and receive a FREE Bike to Work Day t-shirt! Each registration will be entered into a drawing for a Jamis bike courtesy of City Bikes of Adams Morgan.

For more information and to register go to www.waba.org or call 202.628.2500.
