Trade your gas pedal for bicycle pedals on Bike to Work Day, Friday, May 20.
Registration is now open for all 12 Montgomery County pit stops, including at Dawson’s Market in Rockville Town Square and Fallsgrove Village Center, near Smoothie King. Pit stops will have free snacks, beverages and bicycling giveaways while supplies last, and free T-shirts for the first 15,000 people in the Washington metropolitan region to register and stop by a pit stop. You don’t need to be biking to work to participate. If you’re working from home that Friday, feel free to take a leisurely morning bike ride around the neighborhood before you start the workday.
Visit www.biketoworkmetrodc.org for registration, a list of pit stop locations and more information.
