We found this video pretty interesting, courtesy of the always excellent B'more Spokes blog.

What to Expect from the Outer Space Bike Party
The September Baltimore Bike Party is just one day away, and from the group's latest blog post, we finally have a good idea of what to expect. For starters, there will be no stopping at red lights. That's right, you can exhale now.
While you're re-composing yourself, make sure you head over to the Bike Party website and read the 411 on the September ride before you go out there tomorrow. Heavy Seas will be in the mix at the after party, so you don't want to miss it!
Check out Bike Fest at MICA!
Before you head out for the Bike Party tomorrow, make sure to swing by Bike Fest at MICA starting at 4pm. What can you expect? Take a look:
- 4:15 Bike MD Commuter Workshop - Safety Skills for the Urban Cyclist
- 5:30 BBW Flat Repair Workshop - Learn to fix that flat on the go
- 6:45 Costume Contest (Bike Party Theme: Outerspace!) Prizes!
- 7:00pm Leave for Bike Party!
Make sure to make it out, and in the mean time, RSVP on Facebook.
Join Bikemore for Our Second Community Clean-Up of Clipper Mill Road / Jones Falls Trail
Clipper Mill and Falls Road comprise a popular route for cyclists, but there's currently some debris on the roadway that is hazardous to cyclists. We made a lot of progress last month, but there is much work still to do! You might even get to climb a Front-End Loader!
On September 28, help clear debris from Clipper Mill and Falls Roads between Ash Street and the Jones Falls Trail switchback (and possibly further south if we have enough time). The City will have two trucks to help us out, but we need volunteers to help cut back vines and brush, and load same onto said trucks!
