WOODBRIDGE, VA – Participating in the annual Bike to Work Day is a breeze if your home and workplace are only a few miles apart, but what if you have a much longer commute? Let OmniRide help!
Bike to Work Day is Friday, May 18. Ride your bike to a nearby bus stop that day and then hop on an OmniRide express or local bus to complete your commute! OmniRide local buses and those that serve the Metro stations feature exterior bike racks so you can take your bike with you at no additional charge! OmniRide express buses traveling to points in Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. don’t have bike racks, but bicycle amenities are available at these commuter lots:
- Dale City

- Telegraph Road
