For Immediate Release: May 11, 2023

The City of Alexandria invites the community to participate in National Bike to Work Day on Friday, May 19. The free, annual event encourages the public to consider bicycle commuting as an affordable, fun and environmentally friendly way of getting to work.

Alexandria residents will be among the thousands of area commuters who celebrate Bike to Work Day by cycling to pit stops on their way to work (or back home, if applicable) and participating in special events around the City and throughout the region.

Participants can register at biketoworkmetrodc.org for activities at one of six Alexandria “pit stops,” including:

• City Hall - Market Square (301 King St.) from 7 to 10 a.m. (City-sponsored pit stop)
• Carlyle (300 John Carlyle St.) from 6 to 9 a.m.
• Del Ray (2704 Mt. Vernon Ave.) from 6 to 9 a.m.
• Fairlington Centre (1711 Centre Plaza) from 6:30 to 9 a.m.
• Mark Center North Parking Garage (across from 4825 Mark Center Drive) from 7 to 9 a.m.
• National Landing (3030 Potomac Ave.) from 3 to 6 p.m.

The City-sponsored pit stop at City Hall will have grab-and-go refreshments, free swag, 360 photo booth, DJ and so much more! This year marks the first year back at our largest venue Market Square in front of historic City Hall.

Bike to Work Day is free and open to all commuters; however, registration is required. Register before the day of the event and pick up your free commemorative t-shirt at your selected pit stop. Bike to Work Day is part of the City’s observance of National Bike Month.
