The 2024\u00a0Washington Area Bicyclist Association<\/strong>\u00a0Bike to Work Day<\/strong><\/a> is scheduled for May 17 – this Friday. The event is FREE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An annual tradition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"2022<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the D.C. area, there will be pitstops in the morning and afternoon giving out swag like bike bells, water bottles<\/strong><\/a>, maps and snacks. If you are lucky, you might even get a quick tune-up. Plus, if you are one of the first 20,000 to register, you get a t-shirt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been a pretty regular BTWD participant since 2017, even in years when I had no work to bike too<\/em>. In Alexandria, the mayor has been showing up at John Carlyle Square. I talked to him about how the Holmes Run Trail is never whole<\/strong><\/a>. I probably will again this year. Along with asking why he hasn’t advocated for my Metro bus route<\/strong><\/a>. Again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year will be my sixth BTWD. The event was created by The League of American Bicyclists<\/a><\/strong>in 1956. The Washington Area Bicyclist Association<\/strong><\/a>‘s first BTWD was 2001. Over 10,000 cyclists are participate annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\""George<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This year’s t-shirt is orange. Other recent colors are raspberry, pink, yellow, light blue, green and purple. Why can’t we ever get navy blue? I’ll take a photo of all of them together for instagram<\/strong><\/a> over the weekend. Maybe by then, I will have found the photo someone took of every Bike to Work Day t-shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Register<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BTWD registration<\/strong><\/a> is open now with pit stops in Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland. It’s rain or shine and four days out, it’s looks like it could go either way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
