Commuter Spotlight: Bike Spirit Award Winner Morris Klein

Morris Klein was nominated for our Bike Commuter Spirit Award by his daughter, Marnie and was presented with the award at Bike to Work Day last month (see event photos here!) Marnie says that Morris has biked his entire adult life, even in winter in the cold and dark.  He has biked to his office in Downtown Bethesda since 1996 and uses the Capital Crescent Trail for part of his travel route. Morris doesn’t just bike to work, though. He bikes all around the region and motivates his daughter, Marnie, to do so as well, often meeting up with her on the Capital Crescent Trail. Marnie says that biking has given Morris expert endurance, helping him to maintain the same energy and mobility he enjoyed decades ago! She says that her dad is over sixty years old and he's still extremely active on his bike, with great endurance as well. He is also an expert navigator, knowing every trail in the area! Morris says that it’s important to wear layers for warmth, use lights and a helmet for safety, and keep your bike’s fenders clean.Congratulations, Morris!
