Join nearly 17,000 area commuters for a celebration of bicycling as a clean, fun and healthy way to get to work. The Georgetown BID is sponsoring a “pit stop” where commuters can enjoy refreshments, snacks and bicycle-themed giveaways.
Once again, the Georgetown Waterfront Park will be the site of our pit stop. Last year, the popular location drew approximately 400-500 riders on their way to work creating a fun start to the day!

The first 16,000 people who register will also receive a free T-shirt, and first 300 to stop by receive a Bike to Work Day water bottle.
