Free refreshments will be offered at dozens of pit stops organized by SANDAG, the event's sponsor, from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Bike to Work Day, a tradition in San Diego for more than 30 years, has been re-branded Bike-Anywhere Day to broaden the annual event’s appeal and acknowledge that many more people now work from home.
Free T-shirts and refreshments will be available at roughly 100 “pit stops” organized by the county’s regional planning agency, the San Diego Association of Governments, which is sponsoring the event. Pit stops will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.Encouraging people to experiment with bicycle commuting has become steadily more important for cities as they strive to lower greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.
SANDAG officials say the event aims to promote biking as a viable, fun and healthy transportation choice for everyday trips and to combat traffic congestion and air pollution.
