More than 3,000 metro area riders try winter biking
Friday, Feb. 8 was International Winter Bike to Work Day 2019, and Colorado dominated the world leader board! The day was bitter cold and due to a storm two days previous the streets were snow-packed: Despite that, riders braved the weather to get their early-morning cardio in and get their blood moving. While Way to Go estimates that many riders rode other days due to the weather, the high pledge participation is a testament to the rising profile of biking as a commute choice for Coloradans year-round. Around 3,600 committed to riding, with nearly 4,000 making the pledge statewide.

Winter Bike to Work Day is Feb. 8, 2019! Please commit to riding and help us put Colorado on the world map as champions of bike commuting. The site is winterbiketoworkday.org, and making a commitment is simple and quick.
