Score extra points with your boss by coming back from lunch knowing how your workplace can earn Bike Friendly certification.

Learn about the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA) and their programs and advocacy in the region.

Griffin Cycle will give you tips on basic bike maintenence and safety.

Learn how to load your bike onto a bus, for a bus-bike commute, and how to get started as a bike commuter the right way.

All of this and more, FREE from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM.

As a bonus, you'll be right near some of the best lunch options in Old town Bethesda:  Jetties, The Parva, Bold Bite, BlackFinn, Hanaro and Black's Bar and Kitchen!  Grab your lunch and come to Veteran's Park.
