The culmination of the week-long festivities is Bike to Work Day, where the City has organized three different routes for people to join a group and bike to work. Each ride lasts approximately 30 – 45 minutes. All rides will finish at City Hall for a celebration, safety fair and giveaways. Rides include:

The Safety Fair will take place in the City Hall courtyard (401 Clematis St.; West Palm Beach, FL 33401) starting at 7 a.m. Riders will receive information on Vision Zero and how through the “three Es” – engineering, education and enforcement – the City of West Palm Beach plans to reduce and eventually eliminate serious injuries and fatalities on its streets. The initiative launched last year, and the City has already reported seeing improvements to pedestrian and bicyclist safety.
