Bikeable Baltimore Region (BBR) is a plan to create a safe, connected, and comfortable bike network that serves the entire Baltimore region. The goal is to provide people of all ages and abilities with the option to bike to where they need to go including public transit, schools, jobs, parks, and other essential destinations.
