Bike to Work Day

Five Rivers MetroParks invites the community to celebrate National Bike to Work Day on Friday during its annual Bike to Work Day Pancake Breakfast at RiverScape MetroPark, 237 E. Monument Ave.

From 7 to 9 a.m., hundreds of cycling enthusiasts will gather to enjoy a free, flying pancake breakfast, coffee, live music, cycling-related exhibitors, a photo booth and more during this celebration of human-powered transportation.

New for 2022, business organizations, community groups and individuals are encouraged to enter the Bike to Work Day Challenge prior to the event for a chance to win prizes.

Prizes will be awarded to the team with the most riders and the team that covers the most collective miles ridden the morning of the event. Individuals can pre-register for a chance to win prizes for most miles ridden the morning of the event. Two random drawings for prizes will be awarded to one team and one individual rider as well.

The first 500 cyclists to pre-register their ride and check in at the Bike to Work Day Pancake Breakfast will receive a free gift from Five Rivers MetroParks.

For those who don’t want to ride a considerable distance, participants are welcome to park their cars at a trail access area and ride to RiverScape from a closer starting point.
