THE CITY OF FREDERICK WINS BIKE TO WORK DAY CHALLENGE!
The final numbers are in! The Mayors of Rockville and
Frederick threw down a good-natured challenge and Frederick came out on top.
Mayor McClement said: “I want to thank Mayor Bridget Newton and the City of Rockville for their camaraderie. Mayor Newton and I enjoy this friendly rivalry between our Cities. It’s all in good fun and adds a friendly banter to our Bike to Work Day Festivities. We both look forward to continuing the challenges in hope of increasing rider participation.”
