Hitting the trail more than a half-century ago, National Bike to Work Day was originated by the League of American Bicyclists in 1956 to encourage biking as an alternative to driving to work.
Today, the observance is part of National Bike Month which helps to raise awareness of “commuting without polluting”.
May is also when the National Bike Challenge kicks off, and the challenge continues through September.
In 2023, Bike to Work Week is May 15-21, with Bike to Work Day on Friday, May 19, 2023.
40% of all trips in the U.S. are less than two miles, making bicycling a feasible and fun way to get around.
