Bike to Work Day to be held June 25
Aspen, CO - The city of Aspen transportation department has announced Bike to Work Day will be on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. This event aims to encourage cycling and walking as alternative modes of transportation.
“Bike to Work Day is an initiative that promotes sustainable and healthy transportation options,” said Sandy Doebler, mobility administrator for the city of Aspen’s transportation department. “It’s a great opportunity for our community to embrace biking and walking.”
Pedal to work and swing by one of three stations along the bikeway. From 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., stop by the Red Brick, Bugsy Bernard Park, or the corner of Hopkins and Garmisch streets near Paepcke Park. Cyclists will be treated to grab-and-go snacks, giveaways, and bike safety check vouchers courtesy of Basalt Bike & Ski. Plus, enjoy chances to win gift cards and other great prizes. Aspen Valley Health will also be at Paepcke Park handing out free helmets while supplies last. This event is designed for riders of all levels.
There are plenty of convenient ways to drive less and help reduce traffic and emissions. Ride your bike whenever possible or hop on a free shuttle to get around town. Aspen’s Car To Go carshare program offers a flexible option for quick trips, while WE-cycle provides easy bike sharing access in Aspen, Snowmass Village, and the mid-valley. For shorter downtown trips, try the Downtowner for an efficient ride. If you're commuting with others, groups of two or more adults can pick up a carpool permit at the Brush Creek Park & Ride parking kiosk.
