The City of Alexandria invites the community to participate in National Bike to Work Day, Friday, May 20. The free, annual event encourages the public to consider bicycle commuting as an affordable, efficient and environmentally friendly way of getting to work.
Alexandria residents will be among the thousands of area commuters who celebrate Bike to Work Day by cycling to pit stops on their way to work (or back home, if applicable) and participating in special events around the City and throughout the region.
