The bikes that were being rented (or loaned for free) for a ride around the reservoir were all stolen and not one bike is left. The police are giving the park a bunch of bikes that will need to be tuned for that days rides. Meeting time and place will be announced on http://baltimorespokes.org/ . So if you can come out to Druid Hill Park sometime in the AM Wednesday to help out it would be very much appreciated. Contact anne.draddy@baltimorecity.gov if you can help.

Request #2
Assuming we get some bikes together the Wednesday evening ride really can use some people just to keep an eye on things by just riding around the reservoir and being helpful from time to time. Just show up anytime between 6 and 7:30 on Wednesdays and do as many or as few laps as you would like, it really can make a difference.

Thanks!

Jeez! I am not near the Baltimore area but it sickens me to hear crap like this.

All the best of luck to you.

Cheers,
