Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer is set to lead the city’s 25th Annual Bike to Work Day on March 5, 2026, as part of Florida Bike Month. The event will begin at Festival Park with onsite registration and check-in starting at 7 a.m., followed by a group ride departing at 8 a.m. Participants will cycle four miles through downtown Orlando, concluding at City Hall Plaza for a celebration and award presentation.
The annual event aims to promote multimodal transit options and encourage residents to use alternative transportation such as walking, biking, and rail. According to organizers, “This event supports the city’s efforts to continue to provide a number of multimodal transit options to make it easier for residents to walk, bike, rail and explore other sustainable commuting options that make Orlando greener, healthier and more connected.”
After the ride ends at City Hall Plaza—located at 400 South Orange Avenue—the post-ride gathering will give participants an opportunity to learn about recent cycling infrastructure projects and connect with local biking organizations. More information about the event can be found on the city’s official website.
Free parking for riders is available in Festival Park’s designated grass area via Livingston Street. Sponsors include several local organizations and businesses focused on biking advocacy.
Since 2003, Mayor Dyer has prioritized investments in urban connectivity through projects like the Downtown Connector Trail and Colonial Drive Overpass. Orlando now features over 400 miles of trails, routes, and bike lanes—with more than 90 miles being off-street pathways.
The city has been recognized as a Silver Bicycle Friendly Community by the American League of Bicyclists for its infrastructure improvements such as secure bike parking, repair stations, safety training programs, and a bike share system.
