Bike Thru Burque

Bike to Wherever Day is an adaptation of Bike to Work Day. If you’ve participated in Bike to Work Day previously, don’t worry! You can still bike to work if you want. But maybe you’re working from home and don’t need to bike to work. Or maybe it’s easier for you to bike to your favorite store than biking to work. Or maybe you don’t work or your day off happens to land on Bike to Work Day. It doesn’t matter where you bike—we just want to celebrate biking wherever it takes you.

There are lots of ways to participate in Bike to Wherever Day! Commit to ride your bike to be entered into a drawing to win fabulous raffle prizes. You can also participate (and win more prizes) by completing a Riding Competition, entering the Photo Contest, and taking our annual survey. See the Events & Activities page for more information.

Come visit us at one of our stations throughout the city on the morning of May 20 to pick up some free swag and get connected to bicycling resources. Or, visit one of our participating businesses to pick up free swag and get discounts! Check out tabling locations and participating businesses on the Events and Activities

If you’d like to participate in other events hosted by our partners, including group rides, bike repair pop-up clinics, and more, check our events calendar.

Bicycling is not only fun, it’s also good for your health, community, and environment. By riding your bike, you are multi-tasking—getting exercise while going where you need to go! Bicycling helps you see more of the world around you. Riding to local businesses helps support your community. And of course, by biking instead of driving you are reducing your carbon footprint. Best of all, parking is always free and you don’t need to put gas in your bike. With all those reasons, why shouldn’t you ride a bike?

Businesses can participate by donating giveaway items or offering discounts during Bike Thru Burque Week. Sponsoring businesses will be placed on our Sponsoring Businesses Map and highlighted on social media. Contact us if you’d like to become a sponsor!

Vision Zero is a strategy used around the world to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries from our roads, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility. In other words, Vision Zero is a commitment to create safer streets for all, regardless of our age or ability, whether we are walking, riding a bicycle, using a mobility device, driving, or taking transit.

As part of the City’s commitment to Vision Zero, we want to increase opportunities for people throughout the city, particularly in vulnerable communities, to safely walk, ride a bicycle, use mobility devices, and take transit. Bike Thru Burque increases awareness of people biking, which can help drivers understand how to safely share the road with other road users.
