Reply to comment by danhalka in Linking Jones Falls, NCR trails would create a protected bike path from the Inner Harbor into Pennsylvania. A study is proposed. by finsterallen

I've done Charles going north (downhill). There is a 100 yard stretch just north of the Joppa bridge where the shoulder becomes a 3rd car lane and there is no bike lane.

Going north, and downhill, it's not too bad because I'm going fast.

I would not return south (uphill) on Charles because of that section.

Yeah, the traffic there got much heavier a while back around when they changed the way Charles ended at 695. I used to be fine sitting & spinning for that climb headed south, but I wouldn't want to do it now.

Crazily that section is signed as part of the East Coast Greenway. That uphill section would suck for a through rider unfamiliar with the area.
