Exactly. Most people don't seem to understand that every single dirt bike (except those that have undergone conversion kits) is illegal to ride on public roads. Dual-sport bikes are obviously an exception.

Can we put jumps that would go over the intersecting bridges?

Reply to Last MARC train for the night by MeanMrBiter
I've taken it several times. Not regularly by any means, but 3 or 4 times in the last year. It's been running every one of those times on time.

Get a roof warranty from the seller, then hire pest control.

Ooop, you're right. There used to be an 11pm train, but that stopped a few years ago.

This happened to me recently. If you call, they will excuse you because you already served within the year.

Either pay more or pay the current rate and train people who don't yet have the skills and then make sure there's an upward sliding scale for their salary once they're trained.

Back hills of Druid Hill Park. Loop from behind forestry through the hills towards Woodberry. Take the switchbacks up, head through the disc golf course, and then through the park back towards the safety city, and repeat.

For sure go to Locust Point Steamers then check out the stadium. No games right now, but I guess the stadium is cool. I'd recommend the aquarium instead, but that's up to you.

Last Amtrak is before the last MARC I think unless you count the 3:30am one

Nice long uphill from Charles on the Jones falls to the top of Druid hill park - has a switch back up to the park entrance then up from there. You can continue on the trail by the zoo - take a little down hill on another switch back - then cut across the service road that goes behind the zoo - a couple of good hills back there- it makes a loop and reconnects to the trail by the pool at Druid Hill.

We got hella river valleys around here! I grew up around Ellicott City and there are some mean hills down around Old EC (check out River Rd/Ilchester Rd/College Ave). That area ties into some two-lane country roads extending out into western Howard County (Triadelphia area) that my distance cycling buddies train on. You can kind of noodle around in and out of the Patapsco River valley to put on elevation. There are similar situations around rivers/reservoirs like Prettyboy or Loch Raven. All of this is about a half-hour drive outside the city.

Go west or north of the city. Anywhere pretty much will have plenty of hills.

School choice complicated this

Reply to comment by VygotskyCultist in Why Don’t Baltimore City Schools Have School Buses? by GovernorOfReddit
School choice does not result in good things for the most part. At my elementary school, our kids who come from out of zone are absent much more frequently than those who are in zone. It doesn't make sense to accept so many out of zone kids when this is the trend.

Also the front doors. I had a friend who couldn’t get their new washer and dryer into the house :/

Yes this is accurate and the train does run. I take it that late occasionally.
There’s also Amtrak and greyhound if you miss it.

I admire the attempts to create a legal and safe dirt bike experience but it seems a large part of the appeal is the risky and illegal nature of flying through city streets.

Just remember this if you're inexperienced in Baltimore: if you see flashing blue lights gtfo of that area you've wandered too far from the tourist areas.

Thanks. Just surprised that WMAR would pick this up when it really doesn't have any local impact - that we know of.
