More than 50 Anchorage businesses and other groups participated in the city's 12th annual Bike to Work Day on Wed., May 18, 2016.
The event comes during the nationwide Bike to Work Week. It features dozens of stations set up along commuter corridors into Anchorage, where volunteers offer bikers support — and sustenance, ranging from bagels to bacon — to commuters on two wheels between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m.
