Did you know Friday, May 21, is Bike to Work Day?
No, this isn’t another holiday the internet invented (though we don’t hate National Pizza Day). Bike to Work Day is a D.C. area holiday that’s been around for 20 years now.
Here’s how it works: On Friday, May 21, strap on your helmet and bike to work. If you’re still working from home, you can still hop on your bike for a little cruise.
Along the way, stop by one of the 95 pit stops set up in D.C., Maryland and Virginia, and grab your Bike to Work Day T-shirt. (Masks are required.) Then, on you go to work — or back home!
Bike alone or feel free to grab your co-worker, friend or work-from-home buddy and have them ride along.
This is also a great way to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month. You’ll get to enjoy the springtime temps and stretch your legs — all while reaping the mental health benefits of exercise.
The event is free, and if you pre-register by May 14 and attend, you get a free T-shirt (while supplies last) and bike raffle entry.
Bike to Work Day is funded by DDOT, MDOT, VDOT and USDOT.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
