Central Oklahoma Bike to Work Day 2008 is part of a national campaign to promote bicycling as a healthy and efficient transportation alternative.  The League of American Bicyclists has recognized the month of May as National Bike Month since 1956 and National Bike to Work Day annually offers metropolitan areas the opportunity to call attention to the benefits of bicycling and to increase safety awareness among bicyclists and motorists. Details about the national campaign can be found online at www.bikemonth.com 

The bike to work day will feature a "group ride" from the State Fairgrounds Space Tower to Bicentennial Park in downtown OKC. Mayor Mick Cornett will sign a proclamation at the May 6, 2008 City Council Meeting stating that "May 16, 2008 is Bike to Work Day"
