Bike to Work and School Day – Friday, May 16, 2025

If you ride every day, this is your day. You’ll see familiar faces on the streets and trails. If you haven’t been on a bike for years, but you’ve been thinking about getting going again, this is your day. You’ll have lots of company and plenty of encouragement. Many schools and businesses will be hosting celebration stations in the morning. They’ll be cheering for students, employees, and everyone on two wheels.

Need to plan your route for the day? Check out our Smart Trips’ map of Bellingham and Whatcom County featuring bike routes and trails. For pointers or a refresh of information, visit useful cycling tips, sign up for a one-on-one or small group bike class.
