This year on F5 Bike to Work Day (Friday, May 18), thousands of people will take to the streets and hold a mass celebration of people-powered, two-wheeled transportation. Organizations all around the Puget Sound have stepped up to host commute stations where riders can stop and gather free resources, beverages, food, a nifty giveaway, and encouragement for riding.
If you would like to be a part of the celebration, you can join in as either a rider or as a host of your very own commute station! Cascade Bicycle Club is currently inviting community members to host DIY (do-it-yourself) F5 Bike to Work Day stations on May 18. Host a DIY (do-it-yourself) station in your neighborhood or outside your workplace and support bicycling in your community. Hosting a morning commute station is a great way for individuals and organizations to engage with bicyclists and build a sense of community amidst the festive atmosphere of F5 Bike to Work Day. Do-It-Yourself stations will appear on an online station map along with 50+ other Puget Sound commute stations.
Interested? Great! Cascade has provided a simple online guide to help you get started. Check out our DIY toolkit to find:
- Step-by-step instructions

- Downloadable posters and graphics
The following materials will be available in limited quantities at Cascade Bicycle Club (M-F 9am-5pm only)
