Winter Bike to Work Day Feb. 10

Biking to work or anywhere can be a year-round activity, and the city of Aurora is participating in this year's Winter Bike to Work Day Friday, Feb. 10.

The city joins the Denver Regional Council of Governments and metro-area municipalities to brave the elements and ride to work on a bike. Just remember to don a warm pair of gloves, a headband or light winter hat under your bike helmet, and layers to stay warm. Avoid mishaps when snow and ice are present by slowing down and always maintaining an upright position.

Stop by the city of Aurora's breakfast station for a breakfast burrito and coffee or water-sponsored by Bicycle Aurora-from 6:30 to 9 a.m. at the High Line Canal Trail underpass just west of Chambers Road and northeast of the Aurora Municipal Center, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway.

Elsewhere in Aurora, the Northeast Transportation Connection will host a breakfast station at Stanley Marketplace, 2501 Dallas St., with coffee, churros and more, also from 6:30 to 9 a.m. Additional stations in the metro area can be found at BikeToWorkDay.co.

Those who telework also may participate in Winter Bike to Work Day by swapping a car trip anywhere that day for a bike ride.
