Baltimore's Ciclovia brings 2,000 people out to celebrate

According to the Baltimore Sun in "Ciclovia gives nondrivers the right of way." On the other hand, DC's equivalent event got a couple hundred people out. The difference is between doing the event in an area that is well connected to the rest of the city as opposed to doing something that for the most part is disconnected from the rest of the city.

Cyclists, walkers, joggers, kids on scooters, and pets came out for Roland Park's second Ciclovia event, in which the southbound lane of Roland Avenue was closed between Northern Parkway and Cold Spring Lane from 8a.m. until 1p.m. (Baltimore Sun photo by Amy Davis / October 31, 2010)
