The City of Annapolis is pleased to release its new bicycle map, helping cyclists navigate Annapolis. On the map, you will find local attractions, scenic routes, Maryland bike laws, how to take your bike on Annapolis buses, local bicycle tours and much, much more. The map can be downloaded from the City Web site at www.annapolis.gov . You can also pick up the map at City Hall, Capital Bicycle on Chinquapin Round Road, Bike Doctor on Jennifer Road and at the Conference and Visitors Bureau on West Street. Friday, May 21 is Bike To Work Day, and we invite you to come to City Dock from 7 to 8:45 a.m to take advantage of information, prizes and educational materials that will benefit you as a cyclist.

May is National Bike Month and Clean Air Month.  With our region's major traffic congestion and air pollution problems, one way to relieve these problems is to turn car commuters into bike commuters, especially for short commutes of five miles or less. The Bike 2 Work Day rally is a great way to promote the benefits of bicycling and we need your support!  Click here  for information about cycling in Annapolis.
