May is National Bike Month
Bike to Work Week is May 11 to 15, 2009
Bike to Work Day is Thursday, May 14, 2009
On Thursday, May 14, 2009, tens of thousands of Bay Area residents will take to the streets for a zero emission commute on their bikes! As in past years, the Golden Gate Larkspur Ferry will host a Bike to Work Energizer Station at the entrance into the Ferry Terminal between 6 am and 9 am. There will also be an Energizer Station at Vista Point on the northeast side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Be sure to ride your bike on May 14th and stop by the Energizer Station to get your FREE goodie bag!
Almost 40% of Bay Area commuters live within five miles of their workplace. If everyone who lives within this ideal distance pedaled to work on May 14, hundreds of thousands of cars would be off the road and air pollution that day would be reduced significantly. Experience bicycle commuting as a healthy and viable way to get to work! For more information on Bike to Work Day, visit http://btwd.bayareabikes.org/.
