Please plan to join the Bike to Work Day at City Hall on May 16th from 6:30am – 9:00am. Folding bikes are easy to store and a great way to get exercise when you travel.
Its sure to be great fun for everyone. The event’s organizers will have food, refreshments, raffle prizes, giveaways & FREE T-shirts.
Be sure to sign up right now at http://www.biketoworkmetrodc.org and select College Park City Hall as your pit-stop.
Organizers can only guarantee T-shirts to people who have pre-registered online.
They could also use a few volunteers, so if you’re willing to help out, please contact: Steve Beavers at sbeavers@collegeparkmd.gov
