Baltimore?
My son is planning to move with his family to Baltimore from central
Oregon. Anyone know if there are areas around there noticeably superior for cycling, preferably where modest to moderate housing prices prevail. (His first job after finishing PhD is in center of city.) He wants to sail too, but I told him he can't have everything... at least not yet... Steve J |

Steve J The best road cycling that is reasonably close to Baltimore is probably in western Howard County and Carroll County--rolling, hilly, mostly wide-open country, lots of back roads. Riding in the Baltimore-Washington corridor (northern Anne Arundel, eastern Howard, southern Baltimore) is not as bad as you'd think although the area is quite built up and you have to know your way around. I haven't done much riding north of the city but I have found the terrain to be quite choppy and the traffic always heaver than I expect. The best place to live for sailing is the Annapolis area, which is also convenient to the fine cycling roads in southern Anne Arundel and Calvert Counties. Houses are pretty expensive everywhere, but most expensive in Howard County, and then cheaper as you head out into the wilderness and away from the Baltimore-Washington corridor. I think that north of the city is cheaper than south of the city. -bob |

covers a lot of rides in the Baltimore area. My two favorites when I am there is the B&A rail trail that connects to the BWI trail and the North Central trail Baltimore's light rail system allows bicycles to be brought on board except during Oriole and Ravens games. The thing good is that a lot of Maryland's roads have paved shoulders on them, especially when you got out of the suburbs. -- Cheers & Happy Holidays, GPSBLake |

Steve J Steve, I travel to the Baltimore area often for business and I usually stay in Linthicum, a few miles SW of Baltimore. There is a great paved trail that goes around the entire BWI airport and branches off to go to Annapolis. It is used year round by bikers, runners, and walkers. Clyde |
