What We Do

The Mobile Bike Shop provides approachable, free access to bike repair services. Since 2016, we have been to seven neighborhoods around Baltimore, talked with thousands of residents, and repaired over 300 bikes. We started the Mobile Bike Shop to bring inclusive repair experiences to kids and adults in neighborhoods that don’t have easy access to a bike shop. 33% of Baltimore residents lack access to a vehicle, and those from low-income or minority households are disproportionately affected. Biking can offer a great solution, and we’re here to fix the flat tires or broken brakes that might otherwise be a barrier.

Bikemore is a bike advocacy group that promotes cycling and protected bicycle infrastructure, as well as advocates for the rights of the Baltimore bike community. We also work on expanding equitable transportation by advocating for safer streets, disability-friendly transportation, and sustainable infrastructure. We focus on putting people before cars, and expanding opportunity for all of Baltimore's residents.

We have multiple ongoing projects across different neighborhoods concerning bike infrastructure, equitable transportation, and new neighborhood developments. Learn more about our work below!

GREENWAY TRAILS NETWORK

Lake Montebello connects to trails in Herring Run Park that go through East Baltimore. These trails are a part of the Baltimore Greenway Trails Network, a 35-mile loop of separated trails that will connect 80 neighborhoods in Baltimore.

Ten miles of trail still need to be built to complete the 35 mile loop. Mayor Brandon Scott supports and has committed to completing these final trails along Gwynn Falls, Jones Falls, Druid Hill Park, and Herring Run Park. Once completed, you could get from Lake Montebello to Canton Waterfront entirely by a designated trail path.

LOOP AROUND LAKE MONTEBELLO

The Baltimore City Department of Transportation closed Lake Montebello to cars to create more space for people to walk, bike, play, and roll. This was originally to create more space for social distancing during COVID-19, but now local government is pushing to make this a permanent part of Lake Montebello.

TRAFFIC CALMING

Thanks to the Big Jump infrastructure and the recently awarded NACTO grant, Bikemore and Baltimore City DOT are able to improve traffic calming along the Big Jump and around Lake Montebello. BCDOT will install traffic calming specifically at 33rd Street at Hillen Ave and along the Big Jump.

BIG JUMP

The Big Jump connects Druid Park Lake Drive and 28th St. through a shared-use pathway. The Big Jump was implemented in July 2018 and serves as a separated lane for people to walk, bike, and use a mobility device to get from Reservoir Hill to Remington. It also slows down traffic to make it safer to cross into Druid Hill Park.

Though it was at first a temporary pilot project, the Big Jump is now becoming a semi-permanent infrastructure with concrete barriers, traffic calming infrastructure, and community-based art.

Druid park lake drive study

Druid Park Lake Drive is currently undergoing a study by Baltimore City DOT to potentially re-design Druid Park Lake Drive by implementing a two-mile corridor off the I-83 ramp of Greenspring Ave. The study will evaluate and identify opportunities for traffic calming, roadway enhancements, and pedestrian accessibility, while seeking to preserve and celebrate the historic relevance of the area.
