Gas prices are rising, and the summer is here in the Denver metro area.  Why not combine the two and take part in the annual DRCOG Bike to Work Day sponsored by the Denver Regional Council of Governments this Wednesday June 23rd.  In 2007 over 20,000 people participated in the event and this year there should be plenty more.  Denver and Boulder are the focus areas for commutes, but most locations in the metro area are accessible by bicycle.

Visit the Denver Bike to Work Day to register as a participant and find more information including the many locations of breakfast stations, prizes, tips on handling the commute as well as links to sites to help you plan your route.  When planning your ride be sure to take advantage of the many bike corridors within the Denver area, and of course be sure to wear a helmet for your safety.  My previous linking the week post on the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute has more information regarding helmet safety.

As I work from home, I won’t be commuting to my office by bicycle but my foot like every day.  However I will plan on taking a ride on the Cherry Creek Bike Path during the day.
