Hello,

I'm a reporter with Montgomery Community Media. I'm working on a story about cycling in Montgomery County, following up on the county's recent bike infrastructure announcement for Bethesda, Silver Spring and Wheaton.

I understand many of your rides take place throughout Montgomery County. I'd love to talk with a few riders about what that experience is actually like, sharing the road with cars, why they choose the routes they do, and what they'd want the county to prioritize next.

I'm hoping to connect with riders directly, ideally this week, and would also welcome a statement from the club on riding conditions in the county more broadly.

Hoping to have this published later this week. Happy to chat by phone too if that's easier, my number is below. Thanks so much for your time.

Regards,

Alexandria Barnes
