Bike to Work Day, Thursday, May 16

Submitted by Duncan Green

Visit one of our 7 Bike Commuter Stations!

RAIN or SHINE, join fellow bicyclists for a fun morning ride in our local celebration of National Bike to Work Day. The event promotes bicycling as a healthy transportation option. If you participate, visit one of the bike stations along your way and pick up some “fuel” for you, and even get minor repairs done by a bicycle mechanic at some stations. Bike stations supported by Intercity Transit and the local businesses and organizations listed below. All stations will have copies of the new 2018 edition of the free Thurston County Bike Map!

NOTE: For users of the Woodland Trail in Lacey, there is a temporary trail closure East of Franz St, for the Lebabnon St. Extension Project. The trail should open again within about two weeks.
