You don’t have to be an Olympic athlete to bike to work – even if you live far from the workplace. Three to five-mile trips made in a city can often be faster by bicycle. If you start within the city limits, the ride to downtown Baltimore is less than 5 miles.
Many areas have bike lanes. Or…you can take a scenic ride on the Baltimore & Annapolis Trail, the North Central Rail Trail, the Gwynns Falls greenway, or the Jones Falls stream valley.
Those who live farther away will be happy to know that you can easily combine a commuter, light rail or subway trip with a bike trip. You may take your bicycle on the Light Rail and Metro Subway. On MARC, you may take a folded bicycle in a carrying case. Secure bike parking may be rented at more than a dozen stations.
It’s easier than you might think. Especially if you plan your ride ahead of time and use the information available on this site to get prepared. Once you have a plan bicycle commuting is simple.  And it becomes easier the more you do it.
