Bike to Work Week 2013: May 27 – June 2

Bike To Work Week

Almost time to celebrate!

During Bike to Work week why not give yourself some extra time to stop by a Celebration Station on your way to work, enjoy a free snack and meet other bike commuters…

Each morning there will be Celebration Stations in various locations around the valley and our friends at The Eagle 97.3FM will be broadcasting live from a different location each morning to share in the excitement and help cheer on the commuters!

Look out for the Bike to Work banners at these locations;
