Great news! Last night Frederick’s Board of Alderman voted enthusiastically to support an action plan to improve bicycling in the City and help us work toward a Bicycle Friendly Community designation from the League of American Bicyclists. Thank you Mr. Mayor and Board members for supporting this issue! The Frederick News-Post has some coverage.
Hopefully we’ll have a bronze designation soon!

Board members from the Frederick Bicycle Coalition met with Frederick City Mayor Randy McClement on May 10th and discussed our goal to have Frederick designated as Maryland’s only Bicycle Friendly Community. On Thursday, June 3rd Frederick’s Board of Alderman will be voting on a resolution to implement an action plan to move Frederick toward getting a Bicycle Friendly Community designation. Come show your support and ask the board to vote to adopt this resolution. This takes place at 7pm at Frederick City Hall. More information on the resolution can be found here.
