Baltimore Bike Mentor Program

This is interesting, from Maryland:

Would you like route-planning advice from an experienced commuter from your neighborhood? Even better, would you like to team up with a seasoned urban biker to show you the way? Maybe you just want a recommendation for good city tires – smooth with grip when you need it - and do not want to spend a day on the web searching.

With the Bike Mentor program you can find a local rider with the technical info, and motivational support, you need to get ready, get set and GO!

Find a bike mentor in your area!

This is just one part of the collection of Cycling Resources available on the Website of the Baltimore Metropolitan Council.

This from Fritz, of Cyclicious, and Longmont:

I have an overview of bike mentor programs here.

The Longmont program mentioned in the above website has been fairly succesful I guess. Over the past year we've provided route finding help for about a dozen people.
