Bike to Work Day.....
City of Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City has partnered with the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) to participate in the 3rd annual Bike to Work Day, on Friday, May 18, 2007, 8:30 am, at Bicentennial Park, (west of City Hall).

For the past two years, Oklahoma City has designated the third Friday in May as “Bike to Work Day”. Participants in this event converge on Downtown Oklahoma City on Friday morning to attend a bicycle rally with the City Manager and City Council members.

Bike to Work Day is a national event sponsored by the League of American of Bicyclists and has attracted as many as 250 participants in Oklahoma City.

The intent of Bike to Work Day is to:
  • Educate the community that bicycles are a beneficial mode of transportation
  • Provide basic information on bicycle commuting available to potential riders
  • Encourage people to try bicycle commuting
  • Increase the general public's awareness and respect for bicyclists
Bicycling is a viable and environmentally friendly form of transportation, an excellent form of fitness, a quality of life element, an economic development tool, and provides quality recreation.

The League of American Bicyclists has recognized the month of May as National Bike to Work Month since 1956.
