12 years, 0 stolen bikes; 1 time, I caught a guy messing with my bike (locked to a bike rack with a city-worthy bike lock), but that’s kind of expected because, and I can’t express this enough, this is a city.

Do you think we make city streets safer by sitting on the couch and watching Dawson’s Creek and then fear-mongering on Reddit posts about how terrifying Bmore is and recounting how you poopied your panties once bc you rode your bike past a building and someone who had a different color skin than you walked out when you rode by? Is that the world you live in?

Cool story. I’ve lived here for 12 years, many of which I spent as a full time bike commuter living in Butcher’s Hill and working / going to school in North Baltimore. I still ride my bike (and not just on main thoroughfares) and generally don’t feel the need to wear an adult diaper just so I can go outside after dark.

Does crime exist? Yes. Is this a city? Also yes.

Check out Ellicott City; that feels more your speed my boi.

What the fuxk are you taking about? If you’re so nervous that you won’t leave your house unless you’re in a group after dark, you need to seek professional help and/or move to a suburb. This is fuxking embarrassing and makes our city seem much worse than it actually is.

Jesus H Christ; grow the fuck up.
