Sponsors Welcome
Harford County will celebrate National Clean Commute Month in May with Bike to Work Day “pit stops” promoting biking as a fun, healthy, and low-cost transportation option. The pit stops will be held on separate days at four locations, hosted by the administration of County Executive Barry Glassman in cooperation with the city of Havre de Grace and the U.S. Army Garrison APG. Pit stops will feature bicycle checkups, special guests and a vendor exhibition area. All registrants to the pit stops will receive a free Bike to Work Day gift, light refreshments, and a chance to win giveaways from sponsors. Participation is free; however, registration is required at www.BiketoWorkMD.com. Sponsorships are also available.
