Give to Bikemore and you can reduce what you will pay in taxes next year!

GIVE Maryland - Maryland Community Investment Tax Credit

A donation of $500 or more to Bikemore’s 501(c)(3) from an individual or business can receive a Maryland Community Investment Tax Credit (CITC) worth 50% of the donation, in addition to your regular charitable contribution deduction you may be eligible for on your state and federal taxes.

Donations utilizing the Community Investment Tax Credit program will be used to support Bikemore’s Mobile Bike Shop. This flagship program  provides approachable, free access to bike repair services for residents in Baltimore’s most under-resourced communities. 

Working bikes can provide economic empowerment and improve the quality-of-life and health outcomes for disenfranchised communities because they can provide access to everyday essentials like better-paying jobs, access to health care, housing, affordable and healthy food, and closing educational achievement gaps.  

Of course, any donation of any size to Bikemore’s 501(c)(3) may be tax-deductible.  We really appreciate your support no matter what size donation you make. 

Bikemore was awarded a $10,000 CITC grant this year. You can check the status of remaining eligible funds and learn more about the program at the GIVE Maryland website.



What to Do If You're Involved in a Crash

Door Zone We've updated our Baltimore Cycling 101 section with a new post entitled "What to Do if You're Involved in a Bike Crash."

This is definitely handy information to remember if you're ever unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident.

Remember, if you become a Bikemore member, you will receive a folded business card with all of this information, as well as space for all of the pertinent information you should write down, i.e. driver's name, etc.

Join Race Pace for Bikemore Member's Day

,

Race Pace Federal Hill A big perk of becoming a Bikemore member is the discounts our members receive at places across the city, such as local bike shops and the Orioles. The latest shop to offer a discount is Race Pace Federal Hill.

Race Pace has been generous enough to offer an official Bikemore Member's Day next Saturday, July 27. If you make a purchase and present your Bikemore membership card, you will receive 20% off your entire purchase. There are a few exceptions -- complete bikes, labor and items already on sale. For everything else, though, this a great opportunity to stock up on summer gear or prepare for the fall.

Personally, I might try to swoop some lightwear jerseys to help me cope with this sweltering heat wave, but that's just me.

If you're not already, become a Bikemore member today, and remember, the sale above could offset your membership cost by quite a bit.

Our work is wholly supported by our donors. Help us make Baltimore a better place to ride a bicycle.
