Who organizes Bike to Work Day? Each year, the Denver Regional of Council of Governments’ Way to Go program organizes the Bike to Work Day event with help from member governments and organizational partners in the metro region. However, Bike to Work Day represents a grassroots effort by people in the region who care about educating residents and businesses on the benefits of using two wheels to get to work.
Tips for riders:
- Be alert and prepare for your ride.
- Always wear a helmet and bright, reflective clothing. Use bike lights at night.
