I finally decoded the Owings Mills suburb of Baltimore. What a nightmare, but it's done now. #biking #carfree pt. 3

  1. When you click the Google map, choose directions, and click on the bicycle to correct the route.

  2. Caveat. Avoid Reiserstown road, or ride on the sidewalk. It is the most bicycle hostile commercial strip I've ever been on

  3. Cut thru the mall parking lot.

  4. One other recommendation is to use the restroom in the library at the Owings Mills Metro stop.

  5. The routes avoid the bicycle hostile roads of Owings Mills by cutting thru the suburban neighborhoods

  6. Actually, the starting point is the Metro stop. You can easily be in the countryside in a matter of minutes using these routes.

I just spoke out against #fracking in #Maryland--will you?

Hi,

Governor O'Malley's administration just proposed regulations for fracking--a troubling step towards lifting the state's fracking moratorium. I just submitted a public comment telling him not to allow fracking in Maryland.

Will you join me in calling on Governor O'Malley to ban fracking? Click here to read more and submit a comment: http://act.credoaction.com/letter/maryland_regulations_comments?referring_akid=8339.2988458.9RceXq&source=mailto-n1

tiger lilly

 

These tiger lilies grow along the roadside all over eastern and central Maryland, and likely across the country. I couldn't resist snagging these photos at sunset. More bicycle vacation pictures coming soon. #biking #carfree
