The Best of Baltimore Spokes for 2012

I found this rundown enlightening, cyclists seem to have a sense of humor as well as wanting to create a better world to live in. There were some stories that were rather old still making the list which I mostly threw out unless they were still relevant or cute. So Baltimore Spokes top 10 for 2012:

  1. Cycling [the meme]
  2. What we need are "Ghost Cars"
  3. Brakes - sometimes they can work TOO well
  4. What roads would look like if they were bike lanes
  5. But, but, jaywalking isn't illegal
  6. Average Bicycle Accident Verdict
  7. Surprising Aspects of Pedestrian Laws
  8. After a two year loan to the United States, Michelangelo's David is being returned to Italy
  9. What Cyclists Need to Know about Trucks
  10. Cars Designed to Intimidate Us

Baltimore gains new League Certified Instructors

image

B' Spokes: I liked this bit:
Having been a cyclist for over 20 years (most as a professional racer), and coaching for 16 of those 20, I thought I knew it all. But evidently I was wrong! I was humbled when I realized just because I can ride a bike, it doesn't mean I can effectively teach the League of American Bicyclist principles or the rules of the road...


Seriously, if you ever have an opportunity to learn from one of these individuals, please do so.

I got 400 plus lumens of tail light and still they feel the need to get so close.
