Citizen Representative Needed for the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board -- Whether you are interested in this position or not it is news worthy that this is the first time that a citizen representative will have voting rights on this committee thanks to the efforts of the Baltimore Bicycling Club and to the current committee and the BRTB for being receptive to the idea. I encourage anyone interested to apply and get involved in changing the area to be bicycle and pedestrian friendly.

The Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB) is currently seeking a volunteer to sit on the Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Group (BPAG), to represent citizen interests related to bicycle and pedestrian planning in the region.
CHOOSING A TOURING BIKE FOR THE ROAD --
By Larry Diskin, former Events Coordinator for Adventure Cycling Tours
We all have different needs and goals. No bike is perfect for everybody. In this article, I aim to give you objective information about various bikes so that you can decide what is best for you. If you want to own only one bike and use it for a various purposes, there will be some compromise involved. However, if you are like most avid cyclists, you probably have more than one bike and are therefore better prepared for a variety of conditions.
The first step before buying a new bike is to make a list of your needs. Think realistically about how you will use the bike. What type of riding are you planning to do? Are you more interested in comfort or speed? How far will your average ride be? What are your goals (fitness, seeing new things, thrill of riding, etc.)? Who are you planning to ride with and what is the norm in their group? What is the terrain where you plan to ride most? What is your budget?
