With the torrential storm on Saturday and the remnants of Hurricane Debbie coming this weekend, there's a lot of stuff in the city bike lanes. Does anyone know of any meet-ups being scheduled to work together on clearing the lanes? I'd be happy to lend a hand but would feel safer working with a group.
Recently moved from Harwood to Greenmount West and looking for trails or good streets to get some exercise rides on. I’m familiar with the area for commuting but less so than for sport.
The JFT is very close by and I’ve ridden it a few times, but my feeling is that there are fewer choices than where I was before…
Folks who ride in the Oregon Ridge/Sparks Glencoe/Prettyboy areas - what are those areas like in terms of traffic safety? I'd love to start riding up there but have noticed there's virtually no shoulder on most of those roads. Some of them are a little windy, too, and I worry about cars...how heavily trafficked is that area?
Are there any particular areas or roads or even times of day that are less trafficked than others? Looking for any tips you might have!! Or perhaps there are Strava routes already out there I can find?? Do we know of any groups that do rides there?
Thanks in advance!
new to the area and am looking for some group bike events during the summer!
Wanted to make users aware that I've added subreddit rules to provide guidelines to help provide guidelines for acceptable posts. Rules are based upon relevant and applicable posting and commenting rules from r/baltimore. Rules will apply to posts going forward.
The reason for this is that the subreddit up until this point had no stated rules. There is a lot of productive discussion, information, and advocacy occurring within this subreddit. The intent here is to provide a place for civil discussion.
It will remain allowed to discuss (both positive or negative) leaders, advocates, and figures relevant to bikes in Baltimore. Examples of valid discussion include politicians, leaders of organizations with bike relevant stances (both pro and anti), media organizations. Drawing a crisp and clear line is always tricky but please use your best judgement and for moderation purposes there will be a sincere effort to assume good intentions.
I think Ryan Dorsey is usually on the ball and I like him a lot, he is great on trasit/housing/environment, but his opponent has a lot of money from outside the city and is more or less alligned with sinclare.
What do you think his chances are of being reelected?
Moving to a more from Boston. Got very used to biking everywhere and wondering if I can recreate this there too! My wife wants to move to canton and I’m wondering how bikeable is that to Hopkins and U Maryland?
Lol
There's another city council hearing Thu 3/7 at 4pm. Please consider attending to support bike infrastructure. Or if you're like me and have to be at work during the hearing, consider sending in written testimony (email testimony@baltimorecity.gov). Thanks for considering.
