York Rd is not every ones cup of tea if you want to avoid I would do this: http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=707+York+Rd,+Towson,+MD+21204&daddr=39.4077767,-76.6049238+to:39.41544,-76.59982+to:39.4233112,-76.6076134+to:39.42119,-76.6263+to:200+International+Cir,+Cockeysville,+MD+21030&hl=en&ll=39.421608,-76.616077&spn=0.028676,0.038581&sll=39.425122,-76.625218&sspn=0.028509,0.038581&geocode=FdpGWQIdBRlv-yn7A6nqrQ_IiTHWnzfnY7-PrQ%3BFaBQWQIdBRpv-ym52Nk9rQ_IiTFL3XA1uz2sYg%3BFZBuWQId9C1v-ym5Y-GzVg7IiTFhnMFL7Xk9Ow%3BFU-NWQIdgw9v-ymF2MvbRA7IiTFY7yB40Dvs3g%3BFQaFWQIdhMZu-ynH5w6xMA7IiTG43PPtIiT5IA%3BFQSuWgIdfDtu-ympmwWCihLIiTGRtOgBBCsxtw&vpsrc=6&dirflg=b&mra=dpe&mrsp=4&sz=15&via=1,2,3,4&z=15&lci=bike
But overall a nice area to bike in. You should also look at the Competence & Confidence: A Bicycling Guide for Adults on the home page as it was filmed in this area to give you a fill for the kind of roads you might be on.

Greetings to all.
Found this website and forum this morning.
I am moving to the area Friday, and would like to bike to work from Towson (York Road) to Hunt Valley (International Circle), if possible. A nice brisk 8 mile or so ride.
What would the safest route be to get there based on anyone's experience?
Much help is appreciated, and welcomed!
This is how Google Maps suggests I go on a bike:
