The latest news and updates from Bikemore
In a fairly unscientific meta-analysis, Slate this week ranks Baltimore drivers as the 5th worst in the United States. Take a gander:
No. 5: Baltimore. Baltimoreans just can’t keep from running into each other. They were outside the top 10 in fatalities, DWI deaths, and pedestrian strikes, but their rate of collision couldn’t keep them out of the top five overall.
Read the analysis over on Slate.
Join Bikemore for the Loch Raven Ride and BBQ. on Saturday, August 17. We will enjoy a leisurely group ride to Loch Raven where we will enjoy the car-free roads around the lake. Afterwards, we will have BBQ food at a home off of Providence Road.
All proceeds will supports Bikemore's efforts to improve cycling in Baltimore.
Make sure you RSVP on Facebook, and don't forget to buy a ticket today. Quantities are limited.
Here is a video of the updated St. Paul. St bike lane. Previously, the bike lane narrowed to about 1-2 feet on this block -- you can still see the outline of the previous lane marking.
This video, coincidentally, also exhibits the door zone on St. Paul.

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.
For July, the Baltimore Bike Party folks want you to get lit up! Fit as many lights as you can on your bike and your person and make Baltimore shine. Here's the word, straight from the Facebook event:
Moonlight Madness was originally an annual ride started by Bob Moore, who was instrumental in bring trails, bike lanes, and safe legislation to Baltimore. Sadly, Bob has passed but with help of Baltimore Bicycle Club and Bike Party's adoption, the ride has lived on and is bigger than ever!
Spread smiles, cheers, laughs, and high fives, just the way it should be, as we ride through the streets of our awesome city and finish in Wyman Park Dell for another great after party! Expect food trucks, Heavy Seas ales, DJ Ro, and maybe some other surprises!
Mark your calendar for Friday, July 26, and make sure you RSVP on Facebook.
Our work is wholly supported by our donors. Help us make Baltimore a better place to ride a bicycle.
