June is Bike Month in Colorado and there are lots of people taking to bikes to get around this summer. The fourth Wednesday of June is set aside for Bike to Work Day, but in the interest of public health and safety of our participants, breakfast station sponsors and staff during the COVID-19 global pandemic, this one-day event will transform into a week-long celebration of bicycling for transportation. Over the last several Bike to Work Days, our business community has come out in force to support people on bikes. Now it’s our chance to return the favor. This year, in light of the struggles the pandemic has caused, let’s practice safe social distancing on our bikes to help our business community stay strong.

Join our BikeToBizCOS Week community, June 22 - 28.
