Aspen, CO - The city of Aspen has announced the 2024 Bike to Work Day on Wednesday, June 26, 2024. This annual event encourages commuters to pedal their way to work, promoting a healthier lifestyle and a cleaner environment.
From 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., cyclists can visit one of three ride-through stations along the bikeway for to-go treats, gifts, bike safety check vouchers from Basalt Bike & Ski, and chances to win gift cards and other prizes. The stations will be located at:
