Description:
The Town of Blacksburg presents the Bike to Work Day 2026 on Saturday, May 19, 2026 on the Draper Road Tent in downtown Blacksburg, VA along Draper Road.

May is Bike Month, and to celebrate, the Town of Blacksburg is teaming up with Ride Solutions to host a Bike to Work Day Event to kick off the Bike to Work Week Challenge.

Complimentary coffee, snacks, and bike-themed prizes will be offered to anyone who shows up on a bike.

Bike commuters will also be invited to share their routes on a large-format map as well as their experiences as bike commuters with staff from the Virginia Tech Office of Sustainable Transportation and Town of Blacksburg staff. Feedback gathered from participants will help identify areas where improved bicycle infrastructure on campus and around town could make commuting by bike safer and more comfortable for riders.

The Bike to Work Week challenge is simple and accessible to anyone who can ride a bike for some part of their commute - everyone who logs at least one bike trip to or from work on the ConnectingVA app during the week-long challenge will be entered to win a $50 gift card.
