Annapolis County Recreation Services is getting set to launch its third year of Bicycle Annapolis County Week. From June 3rd to 10th, bicycle clubs, recreation departments, police departments, businesses and community groups throughout Annapolis County will promote bicycling as a wholesome transportation and leisure activity, as well as an environmentally-friendly alternative to the automobile.
Bicycle Annapolis County Week promotes activities that encourage people to enjoy bicycling more. During the week it is hoped that county residents will dust off that old bike, pump up the tires and get rolling!
