Friday, May 17th National Bike to Work Day If you’ve never tried biking to work, this is the day! Rochesterians are very fortunate to have an average 4.1-mile commute to work, which is ~25 minutes at a casual pace on a bike. To thank people cycling to work on May 17th, the New York Bicycling Coalition and the Rochester Cycling Alliance will have a special tent with bagels and coffee beside the Union Street cycle track at East Broad Street. Swing by our tent between 6:30 and 9:30am, fuel up and talk cycling with our dedicated volunteers.
