Anoka County Bike to Work Week
Postponed
New Dates September 14 - 18, 2020
Due to COVID-19, we have rescheduled Bike to Work Week activities from June to September. Instead of Bike to Work Week in June, we are currently offering a free virtual 31 Days of Biking challenge for the month of May in honor of National Bike Month.
Bike to Work Week is an annual event in Anoka County that encourages bicycling to work rather than driving. Prior to the event, let us assist you with finding a bike route to work. We have bike maps, information on bike laws, safety tips and more. Plus get a free t-shirt and complementary breakfast! Call us today at 763-3240.
