Connecticut Bikes to Work on May 17

5/10/2013

 
Hartford, CT (May 10, 2013) – Bike Walk Connecticut is promoting bike commuting all around the state on May 17, 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 on May 17 at www.bikewalkct.org/bike-to-work. 

WHAT: 

More than 20 Bike to Work Day breakfasts and events are scheduled in cities, towns, and at companies around the state for the morning of May 17. Nearly 30 separate meetups are also scheduled around the state. State government agencies are in on the action too, competing for the “Commissioner’s Cup.”
