Bike to Work Day is back - Friday, May 21.
Socially Distanced.Convoys will not be part of the 2021 event due to COVID. Convoys will return in 2022.
I was wondering about that. If you're following other people you're breathing their air.Bike alone or partner up with those already in your home quarantine circle.
Nobody else in my home bikes. Nobody in my home is commuting to work, either, so the whole thing is rather fatuous. I'd bet that most of DC's bike commuters - the ones who turn out for B2WD, anyway - are working from home.Even if you’ll still be working from home in May, get exercise by biking to a T-shirt Pickup Point (pit stop) for your FREE T-shirt and then back home to work for the day.
I guess they're not going to encourage people to hang around and socialize this year.Staggered hours and a COVID policy policy will be in place.
That will be interesting to see, since they're usually pretty crowded.
I can probably make it to some of the afternoon/evening pit stops this year. I had been working evenings since they introduced those.
I wonder whether the shirts for last year were printed before the event was cancelled (by Covid)? If so, will they have new shirts for this year, or give out last year's shirts? What do you do with 15,000 shirts with the wrong date? Maybe they're not printed months in advance. I think it would be amusing to have last year's printed shirts and send them through again with a contrasting ink color to cross-out and correct the year.
The sponsors might not be the same either; new ones would want to be added.
And DC has a bike-to-work celebrity - I think this is Mayor Pete (Buttigieg), now the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, using a bike-share bike for his commute.
At some point we're going to be noting BACK to Work Day....
