BTWD 2006Bike to Work Day
Thursday, May 18, 2006

In celebration of Bike to Work Day, thousands of Bay Area residents rode their bicycles to work on May 18th, 2006! The day began with over 170 Energizer Stations in all nine Bay Area counties handing out free coffee, breakfast treats, and musette bags stuffed with bike-related goodies. Both seasoned cyclists and new enthusiasts chose the healthy commute this Bike to Work Day, pocketing their gas money and improving the environment. Bike to Work Day 2006 united the Bay Area in support of bicycling as a viable and sustainable form of transportation.
