Dear Supporters,

I always felt lucky to lead a bike advocacy organization called Bikemore. It’s perfect in its simplicity. It makes it clear our focus is bikes, while leaving room for us to grow into more. And this year we grew. We grew from a staff of three to five. We tripled the number of bikes we fixed at our Mobile Bike Shop, we doubled the number of people who rode in Cranksgiving. All while successfully advocating for new bike lanes, crosswalks, and traffic calming.

Since we were founded in 2012, Bikemore’s work was focused on getting bike lanes built. Maryland Avenue, Monument Street, the Big Jump and miles of supporting facilities built over the past few years means that biking is much safer today. Connecting the rest of the city to safe, comfortable places to walk and bike is a huge effort. It is not an effort a five person non-profit can do alone. Which is why we must devote time and resources to building the human infrastructure needed to sustain our movement.

Your donation, whether it’s today or next week, supports programs and advocacy that help neighborhoods across the city fight for access to opportunity through improved mobility. And the right to live somewhere they can walk and bike safely. Thank you for helping us be more to more people. When you give, you’re ensuring that with each passing year the people of Baltimore can do more of what we love, we can bike more.

Sincerely,

Liz Cornish, Executive Director
