The latest news and updates from Bikemore
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.
First, the good: Clipper Mill Road and the Jones Falls Trail are enjoying an uptick in cyclists. Maybe you're one of them.
Now, the bad: debris.
So, let's do something about it. Join Bikemore on August 24 to clean up Clipper Mill and the Jones Falls Trail. Here's the word from our Facebook event page:
Clipper Mill and Falls Road comprise a popular route for cyclists, but there's currently some debris on the roadway that is hazardous to cyclists.
Come help clear debris from Clipper Mill and Falls Roads between Ash Street and the Jones Falls Trail switchback (and possibly further south if we have enough time). The City will have two trucks to help us out, but we need volunteers to help cut back vines and brush, and load same onto said trucks!
If you can bring working chainsaws, please let us know!
Volunteers of all strengths and skill levels are welcome.
Meet at the Birroteca parking lot at 9am. If you come after that, just find us along the road.
Find out more on Facebook, and don't forget to RSVP today.
We at Bikemore dropped our August newsletter earlier this week. Our newsletter contains a wealth of information about all the goings-on with Bikemore. Make sure to view it here, and if you haven't already, sign up for the Bikemore newsletter today!
I'm sure this spot looks familiar to anyone who lives in Canton or has gone out there. I speak of course of the area in the middle of Canton Square, which has always been surprisingly lacking in terms of bike parking.
That all changed this week. Elliott Plack took the photo above yesterday evening, which demonstrates brand spanking new bike parking in Canton.
I look forward to using this bad boy rather than meandering around for minutes on end trying to find signage to lock up to. Good work!
Now this is cool! Johns Hopkins has installed an on-campus bike repair stand at the intersection of Monument and Washington. It contains all the goodies you need to fix a mechanical issue on your bike and get back on the road -- a multi-tool, tire levers, a pump, and more. Full specs can be found here.
Check it out next time you're in the area. Hopefully more of these pop up around the city!
Our work is wholly supported by our donors. Help us make Baltimore a better place to ride a bicycle.
