I pulled into the area between the 15th St cycletrack and the White House security entrance to wait for my turn in the intersection.

The officers there seemed to think that I should wait to turn in the cycletrack or somewhere else. I think hanging out in the cycletrack is kind of rude to the through riders and have no desire to get closer to the cars.

What do you guys do? ]]> Road and Trail Conditions dbb http://bikearlingtonforum.com/showthread.php?5058-Cycletrack-Intersection-at-15th-and-Pennsylvania Mt.

DDOT Invites Public to Meeting on Protected Bike Lane on M Street, NW

(Washington, D.C.) The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will host a public meeting on May 15 to present and take comments on a proposed protected bike lane for M Street, NW.

The protected bike lane for M Street, NW is proposed to be installed between 14th Street and 28th Street, and is tentatively scheduled for installation this summer. Separated by flexible posts, the bike lane will be placed on the north side of the road.

Appears to be security for the event the tent was erected for across from the Holocaust Museum. ]]> Road and Trail Conditions dbb http://bikearlingtonforum.com/showthread.php?4886-15th-Street-Closed-Near-Tidal-Basin 17th St. NW pavement groove http://bikearlingtonforum.com/showthread.php?4871-17th-St-NW-pavement-groove&goto=newpost Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:23:50 GMT Just wanted to give a heads up about southbound 17th St. NW between M and Desales - in the rightmost lane there is a significant groove/lip that is... Just wanted to give a heads up about southbound 17th St. NW between M and Desales - in the rightmost lane there is a significant groove/lip that is not marked very well at all and causes issues if you have to merge into the center lane because of cars parked. My wife took a spill (just scratches.bruises, thankfully) here last night so wanted to warn folks about it. ]]> Road and Trail Conditions Xarici http://bikearlingtonforum.com/showthread.php?4871-17th-St-NW-pavement-groove
