On Wednesday, June 27th do your body and environment a favor: don’t drive to work, ride a bike!

Are you getting frustrated with the high price of gas and heavy traffic on the roads? Have you been wondering how you can fit more exercise into your day? Bike to Work Day is the answer to all these problems, and a lot of fun to boot. Wednesday, June 27th, is this year’s Bike to Work Day--mark your calendar!

Bike to Work Day is an annual event that encourages people to try a different way of commuting. If you've never commuted by bike before, it's the perfect time to try: there's lots of support available for you on Bike to Work Day! After trying just once, you may decide to make it a regular routine, once a week or a few times a month. More than 17,000 people throughout the metro area got on their bikes last year, and more are expected in 2007.

Great things you’ll get when you register for Bike to Work Day:

• Free breakfast at any one of about 100 bike stops throughout the region on the morning of the event
• The Stapleton TMA is hosting two breakfast stations, King Soopers parking lot located at 28th & Quebec and the Perk Hill Coffee House on 22nd & Kearney. Local eateries will provide free, healthy breakfast and snack items and riders can register to win prizes including a Fuji Bike!
• Fresh air and exercise while you get to work
• Automatic entry into a drawing for lots of great prizes
