COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo— In the interest of public health and safety during the COVID-19 global pandemic, the 2020 Bike to Work Day, originally scheduled for June 24, will transform into a week-long celebration supporting businesses, June 22-28.

"Over the last several Bike to Work Days, our business community has come out in force to support people on bikes. Now it's our chance to return the favor. This year, with many of our businesses hurting due to the pandemic, let's follow public health guidance and use our bikes to help our business community stay strong," said Kate Brady, Senior Bicycle Planner for the City of Colorado Springs.
