International Cycling History Conference in Baltimore this Aug 6-9
This is a couple blocks from my work. Looks like an interesting event:

"The 25th International Cycling History Conference (ICHC). To be held at the Maryland Historical Society, 201 West Monument Street, Baltimore, MD 21201-4674, on August 6-9, 2014.

Subscribed... I don't have anything planned for those dates yet, so this is getting pencilled in on my calendar.

I stopped by today at lunch and saw some of the set up, and met a few folks I know: David Herlihy, and a friend who works at the Historical Society. The exhibit is open to the public today at 4, and there are events and rides this evening and weekend. I took a few pics during the setup: lots of high wheelers and other 19th century bikes. A nice Paramount in my size, but nothing else I'd actually want to go for a spirited ride on. I'll stop by again today at 5. If anyone else is in the area and wants to connect there, drop me a PM.
