Hello Denver! The summers in Denver are filled with fun activities and all of us at New Era Realty love to share our favorites with you. You may not know this about our team, but we have a number of HUGE bicycle enthusiasts. From Road biking to Mountain biking our team loves to travel on two wheels. So, we thought it was perfect to share information about next weeks upcoming Bike to Work Day in Denver.
History of Bike to Work Day
Bike to Work Day was originated by the League of American Bicyclists in 1956 and is a part of Bike-to-Work Week, which is in turn part of National Bike Month. It has evolved over the decades to encourage people to enjoy bicycle commuting. It’s easy to understand why bike community is encouraged. Cities across the nation wrestle with issues tied to traffic congestion, parking issues, and of course the emissions from thousands of vehicles every day. We don’t know what the statistics are, but certainly some of the individuals who give Bike commuting a try may choose to do it again. It can be addictive.
Denver’s Bike to Work Day
Our great city does an awesome job taking care of bike commuters on Bike to work day. Throughout the city (actually the state) there are going to be a number of stations serving up breakfast, coffee, and water for bikers to stop and enjoy along the way. Bike to work day has evolved into a social gathering throughout the city. Which brings us to one of the funnest parts of Bike to work day… the group rides.
Group rides are listed on their website and are set up as huge bicycle shuttle groups from one end of our city to the other. For those not sure the best way to get from home to work, these group rides exist so new riders only have to find their way to the starting point and then can enjoy a nice group guided ride. Here are those group rides.
After Work Biker’s Bash
After a great day of riding you deserve to celebrate. Your biking efforts may have done a little good for the planet, and for your waistline. So the folks at Bike to Work Day make sure there are plenty of ways to celebrate at the end of the day.
One such celebration is just steps from our New Era Realty LoHi office at the Fifth Annual Cactus Bike to Work Day BASH! With food, drink and music it is a fun spot to relax and share your day’s adventures with fellow bikers.
Don’t forget that if you don’t have a bike there are plenty of B-Cycle stations throughout our city to help you on your journey. Denver is a very bike friendly city and this might just be your chance to take the bicycle lifestyle for a test drive.
