Stay safe out there! Reminder that driving is not permitted without winter tires, all weather (NOT all season) tires, or chains. Stuck cars inhibit snow clearance and emergency access. Separated bicycle facilities are plowed concurrently with the streets they are on.

Last week, Bikemore's executive director @jedweeks testified before the Baltimore City Planning Commission on DOT's 2026 capital budget plan, calling for compliance with the city's Complete Streets ordinance. www.bikemore.net/news/2026cip

2025 was the best year for our city's shared mobility program to date. As a city, we took over 3 million rides during the year, reaching over 3.9 million miles covered on shared e-bikes and scooters. This is nearly double the rides Baltimore took in 2024! www.bikemore.net/news/2025-in...

There are so many stories in Baltimore, and we’re happy to share with you our fourth Impact Story - Mike Thomas. Please read and consider making an end-of-year donation. Your support is critical to funding our operations and paying our staff. www.bikemore.net/news/givingt...

Bah Humbug. We love the Monument Lighting. We don't love when the Baltimore Police Department ignores the maintenance of traffic guidance that specifies where to park and uses the bike lane to park VIPs.

By enabling “gentle density,” @mayorbmscott.bsky.social zoning legislation will support real people with real needs in my neighborhood. Anxieties about it, while sincere, are misplaced. tinyurl.com/29z4wv3f [OP-ED]

“If you go to the Sun Belt or the Midwest and see what they’re achieving, it’s pretty wild how far behind we are. The Red Line should be open now. If we'd followed the 2002 plan, we’d have three or four lines open by now, and we haven’t built a single one.” - jedweeks.bikemore.net bit.ly/3X3hLkZ

8 years after @bmorecitydot.bsky.social created their own legally mandated resurfacing standards, they're still breaking them. Fire the TEC division staff who ignore the law. Generate projects out of Planning division. Require signed compliance forms before asphalt touches the ground.

The next phase of hardening #BigJumpBaltimore is underway. Full hardening of the 28th Street Bridge, removal of the old plastic water barriers, and sweeping of the lane should be complete by early next week. Next up: striping and signage. less

And before, before

It’s beautiful. Before/after

Rain delayed the next phase of Big Jump improvements last week, but work has begun at Madison and Eutaw!

The last Bike Breakfast of the season is this Friday from 8:00-9:30am in the courtyard behind Sophomore Coffee. Also, we'll be at Festival on the Hill Saturday with our new Family Biking Organizer and we are extending Mobile Bike Shop through October. www.bikemore.net/calendar

Bikemore is hiring an organizer to launch the Baltimore chapter of Families for Safe Streets, advocating for life-saving changes and providing support to Baltimoreans affected by the preventable epidemic of traffic violence. This is a 24 hour per week part-time role with room to grow.

Big Jump Project Update: Baltimore City Department of Transportation has selected concrete jersey barriers as hardening treatment for The Big Jump across the 28th Street Bridge. Installation should begin 9/25. The rest of the Big Jump install will finalize at the same time.

Today Baltimore City Council's Land Use and Transportation Committee voted to repeal parking minimums citywide by supporting @zacblanchardd11.bsky.social's Spaces for People Act. On to the full council!

@bmorecitydot.bsky.social @jedweeks.bikemore.net Today I opened SR #25-00807235 because the pedestrian crossing at Linden & Druid Park Lake Dr is unsafe by design. Drivers routinely run the red at this key pedestrian gateway to Druid Hill Park’s loop trail and future amenities.

Have you sent your email yet? www.bikemore.net/news/support...

The third bill, scheduled for September 18th, is no less significant. It will permit the construction of apartment buildings up to six stories high using a single staircase. This makes it possible to build much more creatively, and densely, on small or awkward parcels.

The bills up in committee this week are big. 25-0064 increases the building space flexibility in all residential zones. 25-0065 eliminates ALL parking minimums citywide. Please, if you haven't yet, smash that link and tell the council: support these bills. secure.everyaction.com/81AL1uY6R0a7...

Please send a quick email in support of three bills being heard by the Baltimore City Council Land Use and Transportation Committee this month: secure.everyaction.com/81AL1uY6R0a7...

Thank you Mayor Scott for listening to concerns around relocation of the Sisson Street waste transfer facility. We're hopeful the announced task force can identify solutions that do not jeopardize the Jones Falls or bike and pedestrian safety. baltimorefishbowl.com/stories/mayo...

Bike Breakfast is Friday from 8:00-9:30am in the courtyard behind Sophomore Coffee at 23rd and Maryland. Come join us! Also, send a quick email about the housing affordability and access bills being heard at city council this month: secure.everyaction.com/81AL1uY6R0a7...

Since @bmorecitydot.bsky.social installed concrete barriers on The Big Jump, more people are walking and biking on 28th Street. Pedestrian counts are up 11% and bike/scooter counts are up 15% vs. the same time period pre-install. #BigJumpBaltimore is a corridor for everyone.🚶👩‍🦽🚲 🛴

Reminder to send an email about the proposed Jones Falls Waste Transfer station. It's a bad location. But if the city insists on relocating there, specific improvements are necessary to keep people walking and biking safe. Send an email reiterating that: www.bikemore.net/news/donttra...

In Pittsburgh, they’re smart enough to treat their waterfronts like the social and environmental assets that they are. There are multi-use paths, boardwalks, parks, and abundant nature along the city’s rivers. Baltimore MUST do better than a freaking dump!!!

At Bikemore, we believe the Jones Falls Valley can and should be realized as a world-class linear park. We don't believe relocation of a waste transfer facility fits into that vision. Read more and share your opinion with elected officials here: www.bikemore.net/news/donttra...

If this moves forward, the only safe way to implement it is to fully invest in all of the transportation improvements long promised in the Jones Falls Valley: 1) End car through traffic 2) Implement the Jones Falls Gateway 3) Install a sidepath from the switchbacks to Union.

On Sunday we delivered a ghost bike to the celebration of David Herman, who was killed by a driver while riding his bike on 7/4. We installed the ghost bike today. We also put flowers on Nathan Krasnopoler's ghost bike on Sunday. He died Aug 10, 2011, months after being hit.

It’s a Jazzy Summer Nights miracle! The dumpster is in a parking spot not blocking the bike lane! Thank you @bikemore.net - I know they contacted ppl to get this fixed!!

Today Denver. Thursday a first step for Baltimore, if we have any desire to grow and thrive.

"Herman was the ninth cyclist to die in Baltimore since the city unveiled a bike lane plan in 2015. He was the third cyclist to die on a road where a separated bike lane had been recommended, but never built, according to an analysis by The Baltimore Sun." www.baltimoresun.com/2025/07/30/b...

We're thrilled to partner with @mta.maryland.gov on a new training program for bus operators, which includes this empathy experience of what it feels like to be close-passed by a bus.

We presented alongside MTA and Baltimore City today at BNIA's Data Day. On the commute to and from, it was nice to see a reminder of what streets for people can look like in action.

@bikemore.net Bike Breakfast was fun! Come join us at 7:30 am usually on the first Friday of each month in the courtyard between Fadensonnen and Sophomore Coffee.
