City gears up for Bike to Work Day

Hot off the presses, here’s the City of Portland’s official Bike to Work Day flyer…

The City will have “free continental breakfast served to all who ride, and free fun for everyone who shows up.” Flyer: Courtesy Dat Nguyen

Remember all the fun we had last year? Well the City of Portland plans to do it all again. They’re gearing up for the big Bike to Work Day bash in Pioneer Courthouse Square. Don’t forget to roll by on your way to work on the morning of May 16th.

too much coffee last year.

Bike to Work Day in Pioneer Courthouse Square is a long-standing Portland tradition. Last year I shared some vintage posters, photos and a historical retrospective of the event.

On the other side of the river, the Lloyd District Transportation Management Association (Lloyd TMA for short) will hold their annual Bike Commute Day on May 18th, from 7:30-9am in Oregon Square (Holladay St. between 7th & 9th Ave.) In addition to free breakfast and informational booths, speakers will include Transportation Commissioner Sam Adams and yours truly ;-).

If you know of other Bike to Work Day or Bike Month events, get in touch, or share them in the comments.
