Bike to Work Day in Rockville, MD.

The City of Rockville promotes bicycle commuting through Bicycle to Work Day and its Commuter Assistance Program. Most Rockville residents live within bicycling distance of Town Center and other workplaces in the City. The City’s neighborhoods are also accessible to three Metrorail stations (Rockville, Shady Grove, and Twinbrook) and several Metro Bus and Montgomery County Ride-On Bus routes (both transit systems have bike-on-bus racks). People who bicycle longer distances can access the Rock Creek Trail just east of the City and ride the trail to downtown Washington, DC. Therefore, the City of Rockville is in a great position to serve bicycle commuters.

Event Details

The City of Rockville will again be participating in the regional celebration of Bike to Work Day on May 21, 2010. Last year, over 6,000 cyclists registered for the event region-wide.



This year, Rockville will have two "pit stops;" one at Rockville Town Square in the pavilion in front of the new library (north of the East Middle Lane and Maryland Avenue intersection), and the other at the Fallsgrove Transit Center, near the intersection of Fallsgrove Drive and Oak Knoll Terrace. The pit stops will be open from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. for bike commuters to stop by for breakfast, coffee, prizes, a free t-shirt, and to meet other local cyclists.



During the event, the City of Rockville will be raffling prizes every 15 minutes. The City will also recognize several of Rockville's most notable bike commuters.



If you would like to register for the event, assuring that a t-shirt will be waiting for you at the registered "pit stop," please visit the Washington Area Bicyclist Association's Bike to Work Day website.



Nominate a Co-worker for the Rockville Bicycle Commuter of the Year Award

If you would like to nominate a friend or coworker for the Rockville Bike Commuter Award please send the person’s name and contact information to rtorma@rockvillemd.gov along with a short description of their bike commuting habits.



Commuter Assistance Program

The City of Rockville promotes bicycle commuting through its Commuter Assistance Program. Employers are encouraged to provide information to employees about commute options, such as bicycling and walking, public transportation, telecommuting, and carpooling. Some employers offer incentives to employees who do not drive alone to work. These incentives include providing free or reduced-price transit passes, paying for new walking shoes, or paying for bicycle repairs.



Rockville has also established a PARC-IT Program to encourage employees to use alternative transportation, which can help reduce traffic congestion, the environmental impacts of driving alone, and the demand for automobile parking. PARC-IT includes programs that provide emergency rides home, discount public transit fares, and general transit information.

Happy Mother's Day!!

One the best way to celebrate Mother’s day is to give your mom the day off. Let her take it easy and relax while the rest of the family does the work.


Many families begin the Mother’s day in breakfast in bed. Usually Dad and the Kids will let mom sleep late as they go into the kitchen and prepare her favorite meal. A Mother's Day breakfast can consist of anything after the food is cooked arrange everything nicely on a tray. Don't forget the vase with a single flower. With spring here, the children can pick a tulip or daffodil from the garden outside.

When everything is ready carefully carry the tray and mom's favorite sections from the newspaper up to her bedroom. Cards and small presents from the children can be placed on the tray before it is presented to mom in bed.



Many Families make a special Mother's Day dinner or take mom out to her favorite restaurant for a meal. It is a good day to let your mom relax and let her see what a wonderful family she has.
