COLORADO SPRINGS — Bike to Work Day is making its 2023 return today. News5 is once again a proud sponsor of Bike to Work Day and we will have our own station along the route at Popcycle Bridge (Pikes Peak Greenway at Van Buren Street).

Participants can get free breakfast at more than 30 different stations along the Colorado Springs trail system. Breakfast is served on a first come first serve basis.

Bike to Work Day stops will be open from 6 - 9 a.m

Staying street safe as riders head out for Bike to Work Day 2023

Those interested in participating are encouraged to do the following:

  • Plan your route in advance
  • Dress for the weather
  • Keep yourself visible with bright clothes
  • Remember your helmet
  • Remain aware of your surroundings

“Follow the traffic laws, make sure you’re aware of what’s going on and aware of approaching vehicles, and as drivers, you need to be aware of cyclists that are out there too,” said Tim Roberts from the Colorado Springs Citizens’ Transportation Advisory Board.

Participants can register for more information about bike routes, station locations, and connecting with other riders online.
