An electronic ad sign on the street in Downtown Crossing displays an ad for "Boston's Bike to Work Day Friday May 17 7-9 AM - Ride to City Hall Plaza" above a photo of 6-7 people riding their bikes on a city street.

As part of the celebration, the city has also coordinated 16 convoys of nearly 700 bike commuters who will make their way into downtown Boston from 24 surrounding cities and towns.

The festival at City Hall Plaza will feature exhibitors from various bike advocacy groups and bike-friendly businesses, and will also provide a light breakfast to riders before they head off to work.
