Win a free wedding site.

FMO’s latest sponsor, Aynex Design, has graciously offered to create a website for one lucky Frederick couple who will be tying the knot soon. All you have to do to enter the drawing for a free wedding website is to write a quick note about how you and your special someone met in Frederick or a favorite Frederick location that has some special meaning to you all as a couple.

Send your entry to aynex@aynex.com with the subject “FMO Wedding Website Give-away” in the subject and the date your wedding will be taking place. Aynex will read all the entries and pick the best story as the winner of the free wedding website. Please send your entry by June 27, 2009 and the winner will be announced here on July 5th.

P.S. Also a big thanks to Aynex for creating the new logo for Frederick Maryland Online. You can see it on our Twitter feed and she also integrated the style into the header of the site.

Commuters throughout the Washington/Baltimore region are encouraged to participate in Bike to Work Day 2008 on Friday, May 16, 2008. TransIT invites you to participate in this annual event that will bring area commuters together to promote bicycling to work as a healthy alternative to drive-alone commuting, lessening traffic congestion and improving air quality.

There will be 26 “pit stops” in communities in the National Capitol region, including one in Frederick at the Transit Center (East Street MARC train station). The Frederick pit stop will offer free food and promotional items, as well as a chance to win a bicycle donated by [FMO Sponsor] the Bicycle Escape. Local officials and bicycle enthusiasts will be on hand at the Transit Center to participate in the celebration from 6:30 am – 8:30 am.

Experienced and novice cyclists are welcome to participate in the event. Prior to biking to work for the first time, however, cyclists should take the time to tune up their bike, map their route, check connections needed for bus, train or rail, and make a trial run.

MARC riders may bike to the downtown station and secure bikes to the racks adjacent to the station. Commuters need to bring a lock to secure bikes. Commuters can bike to a bus stop, secure their bike on the bus bike rack, and ride TransIT to their work site. Instructions for loading and unloading bicycles and suggestions for commuting by bicycle are included in the TransIT Bike Program brochure available on TransIT buses and at www.co.frederick.md.us/Transit/BikeBrochure.pdf.

You can register here and if you get your registration in by May 9th, you get a free t-shirt.
