The Rockville and Montgomery County area has a well established and vibrant bicycling community. The area supports a number of commercial bike shops catering to the needs of the enthusiast. Recreational rides at various levels are sponsored by the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA), the Potomac Pedallers and the Rockville Bike Advisory Committee (RBAC). In addition to sponsoring rides both RBAC and WABA, along with the Montgomery County Bike Advisory Group (MBAG), are advocacy groups representing bicyclist’s interests with local governments. However, there are no community bike shops or used bike stores in Montgomery County. The Rockville Bike Hub’s long-term goal is to provide facilities and instructional programs to help members of the community repair and maintain their bicycles.  The focus will be on members of the community who use a bicycle for transportation or recreation, but who may have limited disposable income to pay for repair or replacement of an existing bicycle. The Rockville Bike Hub will also focus on underserved groups in the bicycling community such as women and minorities, who may often feel that shops who cater to bicycling enthusiasts are indifferent to their bicycling interests or concerns. RBH will encourage all bicyclists in the community with an interest in, or need of, bicycle repair and maintenance to participate in its activities.
