Thank you for registering for the Harford County's annual BIKE TO WORK day event. Get ready to have a lot of fun when you attend the rally 7:00-9:00 on Friday May 15. Our generous sponsors have once again outdone themselves and this year our giveaways are AWESOME! From Mountain Branch golf rounds to Ripken stadium tickets and everything in between, you will have the chance to win a great prize. When you register and come to the rally you will receive the official Bike to Work Day tee shirt and free refreshments. Rain or shine, we always have a great turnout. The County Executive, David R. Craig will be on hand to declare Harford County Bike to Work Day and May as Clean Commute month and to lead the parade through the Town of Bel Air.

For the first time, we have two adult bicycles as the grandprizes and will be awarding a child's TREK® Mountain bike in an essay contest about how bicycling contributes to a greener environment.

The Bike Rally will kick off at 7:00 am with a bike parade starting at 220 South Main Street and travel through Bel Air. Local radio station WXCY 103.7 will emcee the event which goes until 9:00 am.

Harford County has kept their title as the second largest rally outside Baltimore City. Last year 171 cyclists registered for the Bike to Work Day event. We need your help to beat last year's record. Register today and begin your journey of biking to work.

There are several opportunities to participate. You can cycle from your home to the rally; you can join a convoy (see our route leader information) or you can volunteer to be a workplace coordinator for the Brief Case Challenge. A workplace coordinator simply keeps track of co-workers who plan to bike to work the day of the rally. The Briefcase Challenge competition offers the ability to compete against other companies that are of similar size. The size categories are 1-500 employees for small companies, medium companies are 501-1,000, and large size is anything over 1,000 employees.

We need your help to make this even more of a success. Bike to Work Day participants help raise awareness of using alternate forms of transportation which promotes clean air and reduces traffic congestion. Biking to Work also improves your health and saves you money.

Please contact Pat Fielder at 410.638.3069 or email to pwfielder@harfordcountymd.gov for more information to become an on-site workplace coordinator. We are looking forward to seeing you there! Thanks for your support, commitment and participation.

A Clean Commute is a Clear Choice
