Sign Up for Winter Bike to Work Day Feb. 13

If you want to do your part to reduce traffic congestion and get outside for some winter fun, then register now to participate in Way to Go's annual Winter Bike to Work Day-this year on Friday, Feb. 13.

The city of Aurora joins the Denver Regional Council of Governments and other metro-area municipalities in participating again in this annual winter event that asks participants to commit to traveling by bike on that day, whether to work, run an errand, or spend time with friends.

To participate in Winter Bike to Work Day and earn a chance to win prizes, visit BikeToWorkDay.co and pledge to ride.

Stop by our breakfast station for a free coffee and breakfast burrito (sponsored by Bicycle Aurora) from 6:45 to 9 a.m. along the Highline Canal underpass just west of Chambers Road and northeast of the Aurora Municipal Center, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway. While at our station, take a quick peek at the final draft of Aurora's new citywide multimodal transportation master planning effort, Connecting Aurora.

Additional stations in Aurora may be found at BikeToWorkDay.co.

A bicycle maintenance station is available on the west side of the Aurora Municipal Center (AMC) for anyone needing quick repairs, and bike racks are available on both sides of the AMC building.

Remember to wear a warm pair of gloves, a headband or light winter hat under your bike helmet, and layers to stay warm. Avoid mishaps when snow and ice are present by slowing down and always maintaining an upright position.

Those who telework also may participate in Winter Bike to Work Day by swapping a car trip anywhere that day for a bike ride.
