MCDOT’s Bicycle Swag Bag Contest Continues - Submit Photos From any Montgomery County Bike Path/Trail Until May 30

For Immediate Release: Monday, May 17, 2021

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) continues to promote this year’s Bike To Work Day by featuring the bike paths and trails in Montgomery County. Starting Monday, May 17 through Sunday, May 30, MCDOT encourages bike riders to show their favorite commute to work or place to bike on a recreational bike trail/path in Montgomery.

Bike riders are asked to submit a favorite picture of themselves enjoying their ride along any bike path or trail in the County to be entered into a weekly drawing. Previously featured trails included the Capital Crescent, Sligo Creek, Carl Henn Millennium, Matthew Henson, Bethesda Trolley and Rock Creek trails. More information on the contest can be found at tinyurl.com/4r7kd52w.

Participants can post their entry photos and tag @mococommuter (on Twitter or Instagram) along with the hashtag #MoCoBikes to be entered into the week's drawing for a Bicycle Swag Bag prize. Residents that do not use social media can email photos to commuter.services@montgomerycountymd.gov.

Prize drawings are held on Monday morning of the following week and winners are notified via direct message on their Twitter/Instagram accounts or by email. The contest is open to persons 18 years and older, and you must be a Montgomery County resident or be an employee of a company located in Montgomery County.

Where and when appropriate, please remember to practice safe social distancing, and wear a face covering and helmet while riding.
