"I work for the planning department as a cyclist; whenever I'm in the Benton building and bring my bicycle into the elevator, people hit the 8th floor button for me because they already know. I can't count how many Baltimore Bike Parties I've been to, and this is my favorite one. The locals come out to see us and I get to show my girlfriend my side of the city.
I've just been taken aback by how supportive the people on the street are and how excited everyone is."
