Another great Bike to Work Day

We had a large crowd at the Reston Bike to Work Day event that we help organize each year. We expected fewer participants this year with the new pit stop located nearby in Herndon. However, our registration numbers were about the same as last year and the turnout seemed to be greater with the excellent weather.

National Wildlife Federation won the Employer Challenge by having the most bike-friendly business. Employees have a place to shower and change, they have bike parking (although it could be better), and they were the only employer in the challenge that has implemented the $20/month Bicycle Commuter Tax Provision. Their office is located adjacent to the W&OD Trail and employees have access to a fleet of bicycles for taking short trips during the day. They also have a Cool-It Commuting Committee to promote alternative commuting options and solutions for employees. Congratulations to National Wildlife Federation.
