While the first day of spring isn’t until Sunday, you can gear up for it now by registering for Bike to Work Day. The annual event is taking place this year on May 20.

“Bike to Work Day has encouraged many of the region’s commuters to make the switch to biking to work,” said Nicholas Ramfos, Director of Commuter Connections in a release. “Since its launch in 2001, Bike to Work Day has continued to grow each year, with additional riders, pit stops, and generous sponsorships.”

The ride broke records last year when more than 17,500 people hopped on two wheels throughout the region. This year, cyclists can choose between 83 pit stops to get refreshments, find entertainment, and more.

While you don’t have to register to take part in the festivities, those who sign up will be entered into a raffle (because who doesn’t love free stuff) and the first 15,000 folks to register will receive a free t-shirt to commemorate the occasion.
