Bike to Work Day, or Cycle to Work Day, is an annual event that promotes the bicycle as an option for commuting to work. Bike Week is the week that includes the Bike-to-Work Day, in May, and the World Bicycle Day, on June 3.

It’s the UK’s biggest cycle commuting event of the year. It’s all about encouraging the great British workforce to ditch the car and instead try cycling to their place of work.

It’s an event for everyone, from people who haven’t hopped on a bike since their school days to committed cycle commuters.

What’s matters is jumping on a bike, giving it a go and joining a community of cyclists sharing all that’s good about cycling to work. It began in 2013.
