The annual Bike to Work Day is this Friday. As is usual, the Georgetown BID will be hosting a pit stop at the Georgetown Waterfront Park. Register here if you plan to stop by.
Bike to Work Day is a great way to explore biking as an option for your commute. I’m a daily bike commuter myself, but 15 years ago I was not. I would occasionally try it out, and I was often quite surprised at how easy and quickly I could get to my downtown job using my old Schwinn. It wasn’t until my daughter started at a nursery school back in Georgetown that it started to be a regular thing. I came to realize that simply put. it was the most reliable way to get across town at rush hour.
The advent of Capital Bikeshare certainly helped. And having a shower in my office building helped even more. There was no moment when I consciously made the switch. It happened gradually. One day I realized that I had hardly ridden the Metro in months. I was a bike commuter.
Maybe that’s not your future. It’s not for everyone. But maybe it is for you. So it’s worth trying out. And Bike to Work Day is a great way to do that. So sign up and head on down to the waterfront this Friday!
