Hung out with @bikemaryland.org at the African-American community roundtable health event today. Give away a lot of helmets and encouraged a lot of folks to get back to their bicycles.
Opening by Nigel Samaroo of @bikemaryland.org who shared his personal story of being hit while bicycling and the importance of speed management in the safety of people who bike and walk Said focus of session will be public outreach and acceptance, not the technology itself

Bike Maryland had a blast at our annual symposium in Annapolis last week! We were fortunate to host three guest speakers, have Peter and Josh give an overview of our legislative priorities (which can be found on our website), and have office hours with local delegates/senators to convey those priorities.
