For every year that I have lived here, there has been a Bike Jam. I’m not sure why, but, we never went to one until today. It was pretty cool. Blue Cross was giving away bike helmets for kids, a guy from Bike Baltimore gave me a map, an insurance salesmen was giving away water bottles, and the music was pretty good. Plus, we got to see some pro teams race around the park that we run and bike in. Very cool…
Here are some pics:
I met a rep from Bike Baltimore today at Bike Jam 2009. I’m not sure who it was, but I think the dude gave me his personal copy of a bike map because I asked if he had one with road grades on it and he pulled one out of his bag and gave it to me.
Thank Bike Baltimore! You saved me $6 that I was going to send to UMBC to order my own.

A guy in Wales built a house in a hill. No big surprise…people have been doing that since the 70’s. The cool thing is it cost around $3000 and looks like a Hobbit house. I’m not sure I could live there permanently, but, it would make a sweet vacation home.
Here is an explanantion of our wonderful Maryland weather this week…yey Global Warming!

This looks like an energy saving Web site from the gov. What I’ve read seems interesting. I also like the Hog character.
According to these projections, I’ll have close to waterfront property if the sea levels rise to 7m (about 21 feet)
I was worried that my 2005 Toyota Corrolla would be left out in the cold as more and more Ethanol products are released at gas stations. Even though it won’t run on E85, it looks like we’ll be able to use some sort of blend to reduce the cost per mile of our car.
A good commentary on why being Green isn’t for woodsy, hide-in-the-hills people and how environmentalism is better than just being good for the environment.
I’m not really sure how Baltimore jumped on this train, but, it seems if they are supporting the development of Plug-in Hybrids. A plug-in hybrid is a car you charge overnight and get 50 miles on without any gas.
This is exactly what I want! It costs as much as a segway and seems way more practical.
