2023 Bike to Work (or Wherever) Day Events Around Fort Collins

June 28, 2023, is the last Wednesday of June, the first Wednesday of summer, and the summer edition of Bike to Work Day for Colorado. Of course, you don't have to be going to work to be a part of the festivities.

The weather looks great for this year's events, including the "tried and true" free breakfasts that riders will find, as they get to where they're going. Whether you're riding your road bike, trail bike, cruiser bike, or even a tricycle, they'll be plenty of stops and fun to be a part of.

It really is a great way for those who enjoy cycling to have fun meeting others with the same interest. Whereas most times people ride solo, or in pairs of small groups, here you can stop and chat with other cycling enthusiasts, or commiserate with other novices, like yourself:

"Great weather, but, wow. This is tough."

Since then, many cities across the country have promoted the day of riding a bike, instead of other transportation.
