Thousands of area commuters ride their bikes to work each year on National Bike to Work Day to demonstrate that bicycling is a healthy, practical, economical, and environmentally friendly way to get to work. This year, National Bike to Work Day is May 18.

Carlyle pit stop (6:30am-8:30am): In recognition of this year’s Bike to Work Day, the Carlyle Community Council will host a “Bike to Work Day Pit Stop” at John Carlyle Square Park, one block northeast of the USPTO campus. Stop by between 6:30 and 8:30 a.m. for free food, riding gear, and prizes. To register and receive a free Bike to Work t-shirt and water bottle, visit Bike to Work Metro D.C.
