Tour du Port bike riding event is this weekend

Get a good look at some of Baltimore's parks and its harbor from a bicycle this Sunday. It's the annual Tour du Port bike ride around the city.

It begins and ends in Canton Waterfront Park. There will be on-sight registration from 7 a.m.-8:30 a.m. for $60 or register here for $50.

Routes are 12, 20, 41 and 51 miles. Riding starts at 7:30 and there are snacks along the way. Lunch is also served on the waterfront at the end.

The event benefits One Less Car, a nonprofit that adocates for better bike and pedestrian access and mass transit.

(I've done this ride, and be mindful that the roads are not closed for the event. With so many riders and the early hour, it feels pretty safe. And it wasn't as hilly a ride as I was expecting. Still, don't forget your helmet.)
