| 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.
