[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3340″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” link=”http://wobo.org/bike-to-work-day-2017″][vc_column_text]Bike to Work Day, held annually on the second Thursday in May, encourages people to try the “no-pollute commute” with a variety of enticements. Thousands of bicyclists find “Energizer Stations” at strategically placed locations where they can stop, get a canvas bicycle-style bag filled with treats and bicycling information, free coffee, juice or snack; and words of encouragement. WOBO hosts the largest Energizer Station in the East Bay: a pancake breakfast and transportation fair for 700 at Frank Ogawa Plaza. We also organize councilmember-led pedal pools and a giant happy hour at Latham Square. Celebrate an earth- and heart-healthy alternative to driving to work.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Coordinated District Pedal Pools

We all know that riding in a pack is way more fun than riding alone. On the morning of Bike to Work Day, you will be able to meet up with your elected official and ride with district pride down to City Hall for the pancake breakfast.

Last year’s inaugural Latham Square happy hour was stupendous. We’re definitely doing it again.  Go park you bike for free at the BikeHub Bike Station just a block and a half away (19th & Broadway) and round out your day with happiness.

We’ll be taking over Latham Square with:
