WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — The D.C. area’s annual “Bike to Work Day” is just over a month away.
On May 17, transport organizations encourage commuters to hop on a bike and get to work that way.
Cyclists will take to the road rain or shine — and organizers said that the first 16,000 people who register and attend will get a free t-shirt. Organizers are also giving away a new bicycle.
The event is free to attend. You can bike alone or find a “ride buddy” to partner up with.
