Bike to Work Day is a nationally recognized event celebrated annually on the third Friday in May. Since May is National Bike Month, San Diegans have opportunities to participate all month long. Bike to Work 2013 supports bicycling as a viable, environmentally friendly, cost saving commute choice.

Not sure you’ll be able to ride your bike all the way to work? Transit can help get you part way, so you can bike the rest. On Bike to Work Day, Friday, May 17th, cyclists can ride any MTS or NCTD transit service for free. Space for bikes is limited and is available on a first come, first served basis; please plan your trip accordingly. Learn more about taking your bike on transit.
