Via FC Bikes

Fort Collins’ 13th annual Winter Bike to Work Day is coming Wednesday, December 11. Between 7:00 and 9:30 a.m., ride your bike over 40 free breakfast stations.

You don’t need to work on December 11 to celebrate one of Fort Collins’ “favorite holidays”. Whether you’re retired, in school, work at home, or have errands to run, Bike to Work Day is for you!

Here is our Official Breakfast Station map, available for  download or  web viewing. On our Facebook event , we will also post additional helpful information, such as which stations will feature foods for participants with dietary restrictions. Many of your favorite stations are returning in 2019, and others are new to this year’s event.

Want new trails? Want to support the organization working to make that happen? Come join us Tuesday, 12/10 at Road 34 for our Colorado Gives Day Party. This is your chance to hear about our multiple trail projects coming up next year and beyond, ask questions and provide input. You’ll even be able to put your donation dollars towards the type of trails and programs you’d like to see us focus on!

We’ll also be talking about destination ride locations for next year, so come give us your ideas for those too.

Road 34 has not only been gracious enough to host us, but they will be giving back to us as well by donating $1 for every beer over $4 and $1 for every appetizer purchased during the event. Beer And…Tuesdays are always 2-for-1 sandwiches 

Want to donate but can’t join us for the party? No problem, you can do that here – https://www.coloradogives.org/OMBA/overview

Trek Bicycle Fort Collins North

Facebook event https://www.facebook.com/events/408933199723106/

Don your ugliest sweater or fanciest elf suit, deck your bike with bows and holly, and cruise into the holiday spirit at our Santa’s sleigh ride. We’ll gather at Santa’s bike shop () for coffee and cinnamon rolls, decorate our bikes, and ride over to Equinox Brewing and Maxline Brewing Company to grab a cup of cheer (and some snacks, too). Then, we’ll fly back to the shop for prizes and a special holiday surprise!

Plus, ensure your spot on Santa’s good list with a toy donation (new and unwrapped, please) to Santa Cops of Larimer County.

Stop in to buy your ticket to ride. This $5 cost does not include non-Trek refreshments. If the weather outside is frightful, we’ll reschedule for 12/21/19.
