Donated bicycles can make a big difference for local community members. MCDOT's annual Bicycle Donation Drive from 7 a.m.-2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 16, will make it easy to donate previously owned bikes and ensure they will have a continued impact. ▶️https://ow.ly/vYlp50ZUreo
The Montgomery County Department of Transportation’s (MCDOT) annual Bicycle Donation Drive from 7 a.m.-2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 16, will make it easy to donate previously owned bikes and ensure they will have a continued impact. Bikes will be collected, rain or shine, outside of the Montgomery County Council Office Building Garage at the corner of E. Jefferson and Monroe St. in Rockville. 

Bicycles should be in good working condition or in need of only minor repairs. Rockville Bike Hub volunteers will refurbish the bikes, and MCDOT will place them with children and adults in the County through the MCDOT Bike Match Program or through the Rockville Terrific Kids program.  A portion of the bikes are also collected by Bikes for the World and donated to communities around the world. Bikes that are not salvageable are recycled.
