| Bike to Work Day - Success! |
| |
 |
What a beautiful, sunny day we had for Bike to Work Day 2013! We can definitely thank the weather for the enthusiastic turnout. We are pleased to report that with your help, we beat our regional goal of 14,000 registrants by 600 cyclists, and that Downtown Bethesda had its largest turnout ever, with over 700 registered cyclists!
Considering the record high advance registrations this year, we had to be careful to give out t-shirts only to those who registered online before the regional registrations hit 12,000 - we're sorry if you came to the event and didn't get one. |
But good news: we still have t-shirts, and there's one here for you if you came to the pit-stop but didn't get one.
Sizes available are Small, Medium, and Large, while supplies last.
Come on in and ask Allison in the front office for your preferred size.
Location: Offices of Bethesda Transportation Solutions, a division of the Bethesda Urban Partnership
7700 Old Georgetown Road, Lobby Level
Bethesda, MD 20814
(301) 656-0868
Hours: 8:30am - 5:00pm, Monday through Friday

| Bethesda Named a Bicycle Friendly Community |
| |
 Bethesda's commitment to bicycling put our community on the national stage this month when the League of American Bicyclists named us a 'Bicycle Friendly Community'. Baltimore, Frederick and Rockville are also on the list, and Maryland ranks as the League's eighth most bicycle-friendly state in the U.S
"I am so pleased to see Bethesda earn this distinction," says Montgomery County Council President Roger Berliner, who chairs the Council's Transportation, Infrastructure, Energy and Environment Committee and represents Bethesda as the District 1 Councilmember. "Making Bethesda more bicycle-friendly is a goal shared by many, but especially by the Bethesda Urban Partnership and Bethesda Transportation Solutions, which helped Bethesda earn this recognition."
The League's Bicycle-Friendly Community program recognized Bethesda at the bronze award level, citing the community's bicycling promotion, education programs, infrastructure and pro-bicycling policies.
Bethesda has seen a significant increase in the number of employees who bike to work regularly, according to Montgomery County's Annual Commuter Survey. It also had the third-highest attendance out of the regional Bike to Work Day celebration this past May.
