Bike to Work Day caps off a month of car-free celebration in Boulder

Walk and Bike to Work month in Boulder will culminate in one big, car-free day of celebration this Wednesday, June 24th.

Presented by the nonprofit Community Cycles, Boulder celebrates Walk and Bike to Work Month every June with community events designed to make  biking more fun, accessible, and social. From group rides to neighborhood breakfast stations to evening happy hours, the goal is to get more people trading their cars for their morning commute for two wheels.

KGNU’s Abby O’Brien sat down with Sue Prant, executive director of Community Cycles, to talk about why getting out of your car and onto your bike isn’t just good for the environment and your health– it’s an opportunity for community connection. Learn more and pledge to ride here.
