Bike Match Montgomery County

By

Bike Match Montgomery County

Clear out that garage and #PedalItForward! On Oct 20th, your gently used bikes can find a new home and spark joy for others in the community! Join us at the Montgomery County Department of Transportation Bicycle Donation Drive in Rockville and help us create a cycle of happiness. https://ow.ly/8HaR50PLcTP

This is a Montgomery County, Maryland announcement.

Bicycles that are no longer being used by some can make a big difference for others. The Montgomery County Department of Transportation’s annual Bicycle Donation Drive will be held on Friday, Oct. 20. The event will make it easy to donate previously owned bikes and ensure they will have a continued impact.

From 7 a.m.-2 p.m. on Oct. 20, bikes will be collected (rain or shine) outside of the Montgomery County Council Office Building Garage at East Jefferson and Monroe Street in Rockville.

Bicycles should be in good working condition or in need of only minor repairs. Donations will be refurbished and MCDOT will match the bikes with residents in need through the Bike Match program.

Community members are welcome to organize a bike collection at their school, place of worship or within their neighborhood and bring the bikes to Rockville on Oct. 20. For drives that collect 10 or more bikes, MCDOT will arrange to pick them up at a prearranged location.

Good morning Roy. I have participated as a donor in a similar program in the past. These are great programs to put a good bike to good use. Enjoy your day.

I love this program, every child should have a bike of their own that they can ride around on.

That's a great idea - I bet there are a lot of people who have bikes just sitting collecting dust!

Good morning Roy,

A good bike not being used is an excellent candidate for a program like this. What a great donation opportunity! Montgomery County's bike match is sure to be a success.

Hi Roy,

Giving a bike is such a special thing to do.  The recipient will not soon forget it.

Hi Roy- what a wonderful way to help so many!  No need to add to our landfill and a wonderful way to help those who need a bike.
