Bike into work. But first, stop off in Newark and enjoy the food, hear brief bike-centric messages from UD and government officials, and celebrate with the biking community gathered. Be sure to register your attendance as soon as you arrive (registration will make you eligible to win one of our valuable random giveaways). In addition, with the City of Newark we will be co-presenting the 2025 Bicycle Friendly Community Leader Award to a very deserving individual.

- Improve Your Immune System: A recent study by Dutch economic think tank TNO found people who commuted to work by bike were less likely to call in sick.
