| Bethesda Bicycle Spirit Award | | |
In conjunction with the regional Bike to Work Day, Bethesda Transportation Solutions sponsors the Bicycle Commuter Spirit Awards. The awards recognize downtown Bethesda employees who are dedicated to biking to work.
Each year we ask for your help in finding two commuters devoted to two-wheeled bicycled transportation. The first award is for the Most Committed Bicycle Commuter, an employee who bikes to work on a consistent basis. The second award is for the Longest Distance Commuted by Bicycle - for that dedicated bike commuter who goes the distance!
2010 Winners

2009 Winners
Most Committed Cyclist – Jim Fulmer
Jim bikes seven miles from his home in Silver Spring to his office at Fidelis Security Systems in downtown Bethesda, about a 25 minute ride each way, every day rain or shine (or snow, or ice, etc.). He and his wife share one car for their family, so he uses his bike for a lot of things that would otherwise put his car on the road – Sunday farmers market visits, and errands on the way home from work.
Longest Distance Commuted By Bicycle – Jean-Luc Park
Jean-Luc’s bicycle commute from Falls Church, Virginia is 16 miles to his office at Calvert in downtown Bethesda. Calvert is a very bike-friendly company and provides bike racks and showers to their employees, which Jean-Luc enjoys.
