Washington Area Bicyclists Association
The Washington Area Bicyclists Association was founded in 1972 by Cary W. Shaw. Although not a bicycling enthusiast, Shaw rode his bike often enough to realize local road conditions were not biker-friendly. His belief that one person could make a big difference in not only travel conditions but lifestyles launched the Washington Area Bicyclists Association (WABA). The organization's mission is to promote cycling, and lobby for improved bike trails and safety conditions. Sign up soon - everyone who registers prior to May 7 will receive a commemorative Bike to Work Day t-shirt. To register follow this link: www.waba.org

Bike to Work Day 2009 has 26 regional pit stops strategically located throughout Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. If you are looking for a mode of transportation that is cleaner and greener, biking is an environmentally responsible way to start. Log onto the WABA website to check for a pit stop location. Participate in Bike to Work Day on May 15th, and learn how to maximize your bicycle for transportation, exercise, and fun. Pit stop locations: www.waba.org/events/btwd/pitstops.php
