I used to respond with a link to Snopes letting my friends and family know that while their concern was appreciated, their anxiety could be put to better use elsewhere than concerns about my disposable chopsticks or the danger of flashing my headlights at people for fear [...]

To make a long story short, it was less than successful. Despite the many “Share the Road” signs and images of the Mayor cycling with her entourage around the Inner Harbor on television I found my experience to be far less [...]

I don’t have a road bike, but I do have a hard tail mountain bike, so I decided that I would give it [...]
