The Bldg. 1 pit stop is the campus gathering point for each BTWD. This was the scene in 2015.

Join the NIH Bicycle Commuter Club and Office of Research Services, Division of Amenities and Transportation Services for Bike to Work Day on Friday, May 20. It is a celebration of bicycling as an environmentally friendly, fun and healthy way to get to work.

Registration is free and you can sign up for one of the NIH-affiliated pit stops. Events will be held at Bldg. 1 from 7 to 9:30 a.m.; Rock Springs Business Park (Marriott HQ) from 6:30 to 8:30 a.m.; and Rockville-Fallsgrove (near NCI Shady Grove) from 6:30 to 9 a.m.

You can also sign up for any of the 83 pit stops in D.C., Maryland and Virginia. Help us defend our proud title as the employer with the most participants by identifying your workplace as the National Institutes of Health. 

You must pre-register for the pit stop you plan to visit to receive a 2016 Bike to Work Day T-shirt (available while supplies last). At Bldg. 1, all NIH’ers who show up riding a bicycle and wearing a helmet may enjoy breakfast snacks and a raffle drawing. Register by Monday, May 16 at biketoworkmetrodc.org.
