There's a ton of it along the road/pathways behind the Baltimore zoo in Druid Hill Park.

I'm used to riding my bike in cities, so maybe I'm not the best person to say. I rode for 5 years in Toronto and 5 years from Silver Spring to downtown DC before moving to Bmore and found DC pretty safe for bikes. All that said, there are a few bike routes in Baltimore that are separated from the road, like the Maryland Ave (N/S) route.

I only commute in 1 - 2 times a week now, but I live in the Medfield area and bike down to to Penn station via Clipper Mill Road / Falls Road. The bike ride to Penn is about 15 minutes, although it's pretty dark on the ride back right now. Most bikers bring their bikes on the train so they can bike to their destination in DC. If you do that, you should always have bungee cords in case there's not enough space on the rack. Also the opportunity to take the light rail down, but post-Covid, light rail has been a bit unreliable, IMO.

If I have the car and the weather's bad, sometimes I'll drive to the West Baltimore Station as there's free parking there. Knock on wood, it's pretty safe too - usually a police car there in the evenings.
