Bethesda Bike Jersey Deadline: May 12, 2024
For a limited time, you can get an official Bethesda “bike jersey” (not to be confused with a t-shirt) that will show your true two-wheeled colors and make cycling along the Capital Crescent Trail (or anywhere) even more fun.
This is a top-quality performance jersey custom made for Bethesda-based bike lovers out of Hexa Cool fabric that provides excellent moisture wicking, breathability and reliable protection from UV rays. It features three rear cargo pockets with reflective tabs to enhance visibility. (Note: This is not the Bike to Work Day t-shirt!)
It’s only $50, which is a great value for a purpose-built sports garment that offers instant street cred (whether you’re a daily cyclist or a once-in-a-while trail cruiser).
Act Now! Supply is limited. And they’re only available online until midnight on May 12, 2024. Get it shipped straight to you. Order yours here: https://bethesdasbikejersey2024.itemorder.com/shop/home/

Bicycle Safety Classes
We are working to make it as easy as possible to bike to work, but we recognize that it can still be daunting to ride in urban areas. For that reason, BTS regularly teams up with the Washington Area Bicyclist Association and Montgomery County Commuter Services to host bicycle safety Classes during Bike Month and throughout the year taught by a certified WABA instructor! For more information on bike classes, click here.

BTS partners with Bellringer and Pedego Bethesda e-Bikes to support bike rides and training rides in Bethesda. Check out details on Pedego's website and Bellringer's website. Bellringer supports cancer research breakthroughs at Georgetown University’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.
