International Winter Bike to Work Day is observed worldwide every second Friday of February. This annual event encourages experienced cyclists to commute to work by bike despite the challenges posed by winter weather, such as low temperatures, icy roads, and reduced visibility. The day aims to promote bicycle commuting during the colder months when fewer people cycle due to adverse conditions. It is a winter counterpart to the more inclusive Bike to Work Day, which was founded by the League of American Bicyclists in 1956 and typically occurs in spring or summer. Participants are encouraged to take a pledge to cycle to work on this day, or to choose an alternative day if conditions are unfavorable. Additionally, those who may not feel confident cycling in winter can celebrate by committing to improve their cycling skills and encouraging others to bike to work.
