EVENTS & Programs
Stop by UpaDowna’s breakfast location this day for pancakes, fruit, yogurt, OJ, coffee, and of course…PRIZES!
More info:
Registration is open for the 26th Annual Bike to Work Day in Colorado Springs on Wednesday, June 26, 2019. On that morning, bicycle supportive businesses and organizations will be hosting breakfast stations at their locations and/or along the trail network from 6am to 9am. Breakfast locations are designed to support how people actually ride their bikes to work while highlighting local businesses that support bicycling in the community. People who are riding their bikes to work can enjoy a fun festive atmosphere with other people commuting by bike and can stop by the breakfast stations for a free light breakfast, first-come, first served. Bicycle supportive employers can also participate through our Corporate Challenge.
Want to ride? There’s no longer a need to register for specific breakfast stations in advance. Just let us know you’ll be riding that morning by registering here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/26th-annual-bike-to-work-day-registration-60445325596 . Early registration ensures that you are in all the drawings for fabulous event t-shirts. Click here for a map of the breakfast stations to plan your route: https://coloradosprings.gov/biketowork
