Bike to Work Miami Valley

Join Drive Less, Live More and the area’s cycling community for a celebration of National Bike to Work Week by ditching your car and heading out to work on your bike. Spread the message that riding a bike can be a healthy, fun and economical alternative to driving a car.

Drive Less Live More is sponsoring Bike to Work Days all across the Miami Valley. If you are interested in hosting a Bike to Work Day at your place of work contact Tom Helbig.

And after the breakfast, be sure to pedal over to the FREE Miami Valley Cycling Summit at the Kroc Center in Dayton, 1000 Keowee Ave. This year's summit, sponsored by numerous organizations throughout the Miami Valley, will be held from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Come and see how the power of cycling drives economic development in communities both large and small.
