I am considering a job offer in the School of Public Health. If I accept the offer, I will be moving from Milwaukee to Baltimore. I have been a bike commuter for almost 2 decades, and the horror stories I hear about biking in Baltimore make me wonder if I will have to abandon my bike if I move to Baltimore. Is it possible and safe to bike commute to Hopkins School of Public Health? What are the recommended routes? Thanks for your help!
I can relate since I moved to Baltimore after living in 2 cities totally dependend on my bike (no car, relied on bike for transport). It does take some getting used to and figuring out which routes work best, especially since the city is really patchy with good and rough areas scattered about. The bike ride from Federal Hill to SPH is pretty easy (about 20-30 mins) and I never had to worry about showering (coming from a woman, no less!). If you live in Patterson Park, Highlandtown, Brewer's Hill, Canton, Butcher's Hill, Fells Point, or Harbor East, the bike commute is really easy (about 10 mins) and relatively safe.Good luck!Katie
