This is actually a nice little route without very dangerous segments. You can either take a route through the Johns Hopkins campus, or around the Baltimore Museum of Art to get to Wyman Park Drive and the Druid Hill Lake. The traffic is light and the roads are quite easy to ride. I also biked to the Baltimore Zoo once, but I got lost in the park and found myself in several dead ends. One day I should memorize the map of Druid Hill. :)
Returning from Druid Hill Lake you make a right-turn onto Falls Road. A nice bike-path was created there that leads down all the way to Penn Station. From Penn Station you can ride down to Mt. Vernon and stay in the alley pretty much the whole way. It’s nice and safe to ride and there hardly is any traffic to deal with. From Mt Vernon you can ride North Charles Street straight down. It’s a busy street but it doesn’t feel very unsafe because there are plenty of lanes to ease the traffic density.
