I am like the only white guy on a bike I ever see. Very few cyclists. York RD, Padonia RD, Joppa RD are crap.
I can often get around slighter faster on a bike, than in a car in my immediate area.
You can walk to anything around here. Including mass transit.
The place is so ridiculous, "There is the guy that rides the bike".
I have been in this area my entire life, and parts of it are really nice, but as per the DC, Boston 95 Corridor it's crowded, expensive, and the weather sucks! At least for me the heat is the big issue. I despise summer!
And I would not trust taking any quality bike in the city.
My Father loves the area. And he has been everywhere. Including 5 of the 7 continents. He is not a cyclist. See he can afford it.
Funny, it probably is one of the better places to live in the US. Cost, and Climate are the problem with me.
Anyway I was curious about the responses that's why I was vague.
