Houston Bike to Work Day

On Friday, May 18, 2018 the City of Houston will celebrate Bike to Work Day with a 20 minute, 3-4 mile celebratory bike ride to begin and end at Hermann Square in front of City Hall. The ride will head east, utilizing Rusk, Walker, and the Columbia Tap off-street paved pathway then west on Polk and Lamar, utilizing the Lamar Cycle Track.

And for those who would prefer not to ride, the YMCA will offer a free yoga class! Please bring your own mat if you can.

Meet in Hermann Square at 7:00am to hear opening remarks and safety tips. The ride (and yoga) starts at 7:20am. There will be sponsor booths and activities taking place in Hermann Square both during and after the ride. Come out to enjoy the benefits of bicycling as a means to commute and help us celebrate biking in Houston!

Have questions or interested in volunteering? There are two really fun ways you can get involved! One way is to be a bicycle wrangler, riding along with other riders to ensure their safety. Another way is to set up sponsor booths in Hermann Square. If you want to help please contact the Houston Bikeways Program at 832-395-2700 or bikeways@houstontx.gov.
