Birmingham Bike-to-Work Day 2019 Friday, May 17th
May is National Bike Month and CommuteSmart is celebrating National Bike to Work Day on May 17, 2019. This year we are continuing to set-up “energizer stations” around the city at local coffee houses so that commuters who bike to work can stop in on their morning commutes. Our goal is to continue to encourage people to bike to work as well as CELEBRATING those who already do! Each location will give a free small coffee and a CommuteSmart team member will be there handing out giveaways: t-shirts and reflector bands.

The Birmingham Bike-to-Work Day is sponsored by the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham (www.rpcgb.org) and CommuteSmart (www.commutesmart.org).
Throughout America, cyclists will participate in this annual initiative by conducting various activities that highlight the benefits of cycling. Cycling is an emission-free form of active transportation that is good for both air quality and public health. Riding your bike to work, instead of driving, improves air quality by reducing vehicle emissions, creates less stressful commute and improves cardiovascular function.
