2011 Bike to Work Day - May 20
Join hundreds of bicycle commuters to celebrate Bike to Work Day on Friday, May 20, 2011, from 6:30 to 9:00 a.m. at the Reston Town Center. Each year since 2002, cyclists have gathered at the Town Center for a free breakfast, raffles of bike-related prizes, and bicycling information tables. Pre-registered riders also get a free t-shirt. Hunter Mill Supervisor Cathy Hudgins will greet the riders at 8 a.m.
Last year over 8,000 Metro DC cyclists attended the event; we hosted over 400 in Reston alone. Based on a survey of those cyclists, the average distance of their commute was 10 miles and it only took 20 minutes more by bike than by car. A round trip could save about $4 in gas and eliminate approximately 20 pounds of CO2 emissions.
Why not go green and bike to work this year. Reston Bike to Work Day is organized by the Washington Area Bicyclist Assn., Reston Assn., Reston Bike Club, Friends of the W&OD Trail, and Fairfax Advocates for Better Bicycling.
