OmniRide Encourages Residents to Bike to Work on May 15

OmniRide and Prince William County are participating in Bike to Work Day on Friday, May 15. Once again, it is being organized at the regional level by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments’ (COG) Commuter Connections program and the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA).

The annual event puts a new spin on commuting by promoting bicycling to work instead of driving alone. The first 18,000 to register for Bike to Work Day and stop at one of the many pit stops in D.C., Maryland and Virginia, will receive a free T-shirt along with refreshments.
