The purpose of this new initiative is to promote cycling throughout Maryland. Cycle Maryland is a great way to get Marylanders out to connect with each other, their communities and all the wonderful amenities our State has to offer. Cycle Maryland is promoting a series of bicycling events across the state this summer and fall. The Kick-Off event is one of seven across the State from now through October. The final event is Bike Maryland's Tour du Port - please save the date and register here.
