June 25 marks the 21st anniversary of Mountain Metro Rides Bike to Work Day.
Mountain Metro Rides, a division of Mountain Metropolitan Transit, organizes Bike to Work Day each June to encourage bicycling for personal and community health, alternative transportation, recreation and sustainability.
New to this year’s event, the downtown breakfast location will be held at Acacia Park at 115 E. Platte Ave. and a fourth breakfast location will be added at the YMCA at 2190 Jet Wing Drive.
