Bike to Work Day Pitstop
May 21, 2010
Check out this article in the News and Messenger covering our first Bike to Work Day Pitstop at the Freedom Aquatic & Fitness Center! Below is information leading up to the event.
We all know that getting to work in the Metro Washington area can be a stressful, costly and time consuming effort. What if you had a better option, like biking to work? Biking to work promotes fitness, reduces stress, improves productivity, reduces the cost of commuting and helps the environment by lowering your carbon footprint!
On Friday, May 21, for the first time Prince William County will participate in the Metro Washington Bike to Work Day, sponsored by Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments and the Washington Area Bicycle Association.
That morning, from 6:30am-9:30am, Prince William Trails and Streams Coalition will host the Bike to Work Pit stop adjacent to the Freedom Aquatic & Fitness Center; there will be a raffle, prizes, food, drink and more at the pit stop. Free T-shirts will available for bike riders who registered for, and are in attendance at, the Manassas pit stop. You can find more information at www.waba.org.
The Prince William County Board of County Supervisors recently proclaimed May 21st as Bike to Work Day in Prince William County, demonstrating their support for bikeable, and walkable, communities in Prince William. There have been many organizations and businesses involved in planning and organizing the Bike to Work Pit stop. We’d like to thank: Prince William Trails and Streams Coalition; Prince William County Trails & Blueways Council, PW Department of Transportation; PW Police Department; Haymarket Bicycles; A-1 Cycling in Manassas, The Freedom Aquatic & Fitness Center; George Mason University and the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments.
We hope to see you at the Manassas, Prince William County, Bike to Work Pit stop on Friday, May 21.
