The City of Alexandria invites the community to participate in National Bike to Work Day on Friday, May 17. The free, annual event encourages the public to consider bicycle commuting as an affordable, fun and environmentally friendly way to get 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) 

• John Carlyle Square Park (300 John Carlyle St.) from 6 to 9 a.m. 

• Del Ray/Colasanto Park (2704 Mt. Vernon Ave. -- intersection of Mt. Vernon Ave. and Commonwealth Ave.) from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. 

• Fairlington Centre (1711 Centre Plaza, in front of Great Harvest Bread between the CVS and Baskin Robbins ) from 6:30 to 9 a.m. 

• Mark Center North Parking Garage (outdoor bicycle parking area across from 4825 Mark Center Drive) from 7 to 9 a.m. 

• Eisenhower Square (2827 Telek Place) 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!  

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 while supplies last. Bike to Work Day is part of the City’s observance of National Bike Month.
