Just an FYI out there for those that don’t know, as I’ve mentioned before Baltimore does have a bike plan. It’s somewhat lackluster and definitelly doesn’t support downtown all that much but here it is.

I’d honestly like to see Baltimore do the right thing and take this opportunity to improve it’s mass transit, not only through bus lines and the light rail system (which it already screwed up royally) but also through bike and single stroke engine lanes. Granted there’s a lot of traffic in Baltimore but that doesn’t mean it’s going to get worse if the lanes were shifted to make them more bike friendly. The city is structured enough that those in the surrounding neighborhoods that do work downtown might actually take the opportunity to improve on their health by biking in to work. I know for one that there are many at the University of Maryland that are sick of paying the high prices for parking that might take this opportunity…I know I would.
