Pledge, then RIDE! on Bike to Work Day, May 15

5/7/2015

 
Picture
Bike Walk Connecticut promotes active transportation and bike commuting all around the state, but especially on May 15, National Bike to Work Day.

Bike commuting reduces traffic, avoids pollution, saves gas, and burns calories.  More than half of the U.S. population lives within five miles of their workplace, making bicycling a realistic, fun way to get to work.  Rookies, veteran commuters and everyone in between are encouraged to pledge to Bike to Work then ride on May 15. Pledge here. For more Bike to Work details, visit our Bike to Work page. 

May is also  National Bike Month, a month-long celebration of biking for fun, for commuting, for exercise and as a way to explore our communities.

What:  Bike to Work Day breakfasts and events are scheduled in cities, towns and at companies around the state.  Most are on May 15.

When: May 15, 2015, National Bike to Work Day

Hartford Event: Old State House (East Lawn), 800 Main Street, Hartford, 7:30 to 9 a.m., Program at 8:15 a.m. Held Rain or Shine. 

Statewide Events: Other Bike to Work Day events will be held all across the state. For details, see: http://www.bikewalkct.org/event-locations.html.

Any chance of having the Hartford location Bike-to-Work start time moved up to 6:30am (or at least 7am)? Many bikers start work at 7am and have to get in early to change etc. I think you will be excluding a lot of commuters with the later start time.
TIA
