Colorado Bike Month
June is Bike Month!
Colorado is a premier bicycling state. To celebrate bicycling for transportation, fun and health, Colorado has designated each June as Bike Month. At the same time, Colorado joins a nationwide effort to encourage cycling novices and enthusiasts to experience the fun and freedom of safely riding a bike to work, school, errands and recreation.

Bike Month Events
To celebrate Bike Month, CDOT is hosting a series of events throughout the month, both in person and virtual. Check out one of our upcoming events below!
June 24 - Public Event: Bike to Work Day
Colorado celebrates Bike to Work Day on the last Wednesday of every June. In 2025, Bike to Work Day will be Wednesday, June 25. On Bike to Work Day, employees leave their cars at home and enjoy bicycling to work, helping them save money on their commutes, improve their health and lower stress levels — all while reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality. The number of Bike to Work Day participants has risen steadily since 1995, and due to the popularity of bicycling in Colorado that trend is expected to continue this year. This year, CDOT will be hosting several Bike to Work Day Stations around the state. Details on each of our stations are posted below.
