The Washington Area Bicyclist Association has been hosting Bike To Work Day since the group formed in 1972. This year it’s Friday, and WABA’s Executive Director Eric Gilliland said 26 celebrations were planned regionwide. Cyclists who register at waba.org and participate will receive a free T-shirt.

How many people bike to work that day?

In the past we’ve had upwards of 7,000 people register for the event. And we hope to have even more than that this year.
