On Thursday May 15, Switzerland Tourism invites New Yorkers to experience the fun and freedom of bicycling in honor of Bike-to-Work Week. From 12:01 am to 11:59 pm, Citi Bike day-passes will be available for free at any Citi Bike station kiosk. This is the first time a partner has provided a free day of Citi Bike passes.
New York is better than ever for bicycling. Commuter bicycling has tripled in the past ten years and the City has invested in hundreds of new miles of bike lanes. Now Citi Bike makes bicycling accessible, even if you are visiting or don’t own your own bike. Citi Bike offers 24-7 access to thousands of bikes at hundreds of stations, spaced every few blocks within the service area. The free Citi Bike app makes it possible to find stations, bikes, docks, bike lanes and even plan your route in an instant.
What makes Switzerland the perfect partner for Citi Bike? Easy: Switzerland offers 5,600 miles of cycling routes and 2,800 miles of biking trails as part of a program called SwitzerlandMobility. Switzerland is the place to go for anyone who wants to swap NYC’s high-rise buildings for stunning mountain scenery and city bike lanes for well-marked cycling and mountain bike routes which crisscross a land full of surprises.
