Over 500 Adults Learn How to Ride Bikes and Scooters by Department of Transportation Programs in 2023

Per MCDOT: “The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) recently completed its fall series of adult bike and e-scooter safety training classes. More than 250 residents learned basic skills to safely ride a bicycle or an electric scooter in the fall classes, bringing the total to more than 500 adults who learned riding skills in MCDOT clinics in 2023.

MCDOT contracted with the Washington Area Bicyclists Association to lead the adult bike classes throughout the County. Additionally, MCDOT worked with Bird, Lime and Spin to host five additional free adult e-scooter classes.  

One of the five scooter trainings catered to adults with disabilities that participate in the Montgomery County Public School’s Transition Programs. The class gave the students the opportunity to test ride an e-scooter as an alternative mode of transportation. 

Nine classes are planned for spring 2024. Information about those classes will be posted on the MCDOT website at tinyurl.com/cycleclss in early February.
Registration is required for the bike classes and spaces typically fill up quickly. No registration is required for the e-scooter trainings, which are walk-up only.
