Opportunities to commute by bike

  • Bicycle Commuter Challenge — Sign up your company and get your co-workers to compete with other organizations to see whose employees can bike the most.
  • Bike to Work Week — June 7-13. Enjoy free snacks and coffee and meet others at Bicycle Commuter Stations along major routes in Chicago and at suburban Metra stations.
  • Bike to Work Day Rally — Join forces with hundreds of other bike commuters in downtown Chicago 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. June 13 at Daley Plaza.

We are deploying Bicycle Commuting Ambassadors to businesses and community groups. Invite us to your group or business by e-mailing commute@biketraffic.org.
