Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer was set to pedal into work on Friday, March 22, 2024, as part of the city’s annual tradition of hosting Bike to Work Day events, but due to forecast rain the event was rescheduled to this Friday, April 5, 2024.
For Bike to Work Day 2024, riders will meet at 7 am at the SoDo Shopping Plaza, 32 West Crystal Lake Street, then head out at 8 am on a police-escorted group ride through the streets of downtown Orlando to City Hall.
A Bike to Work Day celebration will be set up at City Hall Plaza beginning at 8 am for downtown workers to learn more about the city’s bike projects and connect to local organizations, like Bike Walk Central Florida and the Orlando Bike Coalition.
Free, all-day parking is available at the SoDo Shopping Center Parking Garage connected to Target.
A limited number of Bird and Lime e-bikes will be available for those who want to participate in the group bike ride but do not own a bike.
