Cerewa, when I got off the train with my bike in Philly a few years ago I felt welcomed with the big yellow "share the road" sign right outside the station, clearly marked signage and bike lanes and other bikers riding around. Of course the furthest outside the tourist areas I got was Manyunk. The hotel where I stayed let me bring my bike into the room too.
Thanks for the post Human Car. You make it seem like a city needs more than infrastructure but a confluence of political factors before it becomes livable. Baltimore has the density and location of amenities to make car free living easy.
