It is a truth universally acknowledged that Baltimore's roads are not the best. Not the best in the US, and probably wouldn't be the best in Mexico either. At the risk of adding fuel to Manus's fire by giving his views airtime, I am posting the Baltimore solution to all manner of road problems: stick a metal sheet on it. There's a new hole in the road? Stick a metal sheet on it. You just dug a hole and are going on vacation for a month? Stick a metal sheet on it. You want to make the roads better and aren't quite sure where to start? Sprinkle traffic cones at random around the city, add metal sheets to taste, and hope the people of Baltimore will riseup in exasperation and fix the roads themselves...
Enough of that. I have been cycling to work in some gorgeous weather. You can go round hte harbour from our apartment to Fells Point and then straight up Broadway, past a conveniently sited bike shop, ice cream shop and adult cinema. (joking). Ivana is lending Mel her bike so she is coming up to the hospital today to pick up her wheels.
