TAKE EVEN MORE ACTION
TO SUPPORT
CYCLING IN BALTIMORE!
People often ask me
how come
Washington Metro area is doing more for cyclists then Baltimore. Hint
number
one: Bikes are not much of an issue here.
I guess I hang out
with the wrong
crowd or no one has attempted what I am about to attempt and that is
making
cycling an issue.
So if you are
interested in
making cycling an issue and joining me in uncharted
territory…
Since Washington does have a
higher
population then Baltimore I calculated where we should be [s/b] using
the ratio
of populations and then our percentage of attainment of that figure:
| Washington | Baltimore |
# of bike lane | 19 | Approximately 5 miles – Fort |
# of off road trail | 50 | Approximately 20 miles |
# Bike Racks | 500 | 50oldId.20060107172625330 |
