Biking in Baltimore
It’s looking like a rain free day for a Critical Mass this friday.
Bring a friend; bring a few. New commers are our favorite….
Critical Mass meets THIS Friday the 28th. at 5:00, ride by 6:00
We meet at Rewood and Charles which is one block north of Lombard on Charles
street near the subway stop.
Bring: fun signs, lights and bells, costumes etc…
but please leave your "I’m a macho car crusher" attitude at home.

The first ride is set for Friday, April 21st at 10:00 p.m.! Everyone should meet near the north end of the Safeway parking lot at 25th and Charles and we’ll decide on a route from there. It’s going to be tons of fun. Here’s what you should do…
