Celebrate Bike to Work Day on Friday (you know how)
Thursday, May 15, 2025 by Elizabeth Pagano
This Friday, Austin (and the rest of the country) will celebrate National Bike to Work Day with treats, events and lots of biking to work. In the morning, groups across the city will offer free edible treats and bike tune-ups between 7 and 9 a.m. (here’s a handy map of the fueling stations.) Additionally, the Ghisallo Cycling Initiative will lead group rides to the City Hall Bike to Work Day Celebration at 8:45 a.m. (more info on that here) which will feature remarks from Mayor Kirk Watson, Council Member Paige Ellis and Transportation and Public Works Assistant Director Anna Martin. On the other side of work, celebrants are invited to bring their bike on over to Central Machine Works where there will be live music and food and drink specials for cyclists from 5:30 until 9 p.m. Don’t have a bike? Use the promo code B2WD2025 for a free MetroBike rental on Friday.
