I know we've written about them before—but I was reminded this week about Baltimore's community bike shop Velocipede Bike Project. On Thursday (because of all the street closures for Artscape) I ended up walking by the shop on my way to the Charles. (Go see Food, Inc.) It's a collectively run non-profit that collects donated, second-hand, and landfill-bound bikes to help provide transportation for people of low and moderate incomes, encourage healthy lifestyles, and decrease dependence on unsustainable fossil fuels. On Saturday, while wandering around Artscape, we realized one of our stroller tires was very low—and so we knocked on the door on the shop. They very nicely, manually pumped it back up. It's a worthy project, and one worth revisiting. —JED
