Denver, Colorado — Bike to Work Day returns to the Denver region on Wednesday, June 24, with more than 15,000 cyclists expected to leave their cars at home and bike, scoot or roll to work. Riders can pledge to ride at BikeToWorkDay.co and are invited to stop by more than 260 rider appreciation stations throughout the Denver metro area before or after work to enjoy free food, beverages and giveaways.

New this year to Bike to Work Day is the Ride and Shine Card, which will be available at select stations across the Denver area or found online at DRCOG.org/RideAndShine. Riders are invited to complete a series of simple activities such as pledging to ride online, sharing a selfie at a rider appreciation station and tracking their ride on MyWayToGo.org. One lucky rider will win a $1,000 cash card. Cards can be turned in at the official Bike to Work Day Party at The Emporium Brewing Company or online.

Hundreds of local organizations will host stations throughout the region. A full list of stations can be found at BikeToWorkDay.co.
