OmniRide Encourages Residents to Bike to Work on May 15
OmniRide and Prince William County are participating in Bike to Work Day on Thursday, May 15. Once again, it is being organized at the regional level by Commuter Connections Committee of the Washington Metropolitan Council of Governments (MWCOG) and the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA).
The annual event is intended to increase awareness and participation in bicycling as a method of transportation to work instead of driving alone.
