There’s no time like the present to dust off your bike and get some exercise while also getting to work. Not sure the best way to get there? Call or email us and we can suggest a route. View Tacoma’s existing bicycle network and see plans for the future.
Already a bike commuter? We want to hear from you – why you do it, what route you take, and tips on how others can improve their bike commutes. Click here to contact us.
And remember…biking isn’t all or nothing. If hills or distance make a bike commute challenging, combine it with another mode, like transit. We can show you how, or check out the resources below.
