Chain Gang's first ride of the season was meant to be at Gwynn Falls but spontaneously got changed to Loch Haven Resevoir. A beautiful day with great weather, easy ride but hilly and a nice rest at a restaurant. Good start to our second year riding!

Hi everyone!

Velocipede Bike Project is celebrating its accomplishments, particularly its recent designation as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, with its first ever “Velociprom”.

On Saturday, February 13th, 2010, come gather with us at the Windup Space in your swankiest tuxes, gowns and spandex for a night of live music, dancing, souvenir photos, and costume contests. It will be all of the fun the prom was (or should have been) without worrying about who to take or saving up for a limo.

$5 - $10 sliding scale donations. Spread the word!

Waiting Impatiently For Spring

Just an update, Chain Gang Baltimore will start meeting again in March. Suggestions on trails and places to go?

Facebook Page Encourages Violence Against Cyclists

If you’re on Facebook, click here to see the “There’s a Perfectly Good Cycle Path Right Next to the Road…” page set up to advocate intentional violence against cyclists. Probably set up as a joke, it now has over 31,000 fans. There are only four posts, all in November 2009, so my hunch is it’s not an active page, but the number of fans it has is alarming. [Ah but comments on those 4 posts are very active.]

Scroll to the bottom left of the page and click “Report Page” and let Facebook know you think it’s inappropriate content.
