Something in the water? Or in the air, so to speak. People willing to kill on a whim or for the hell of it. At the risk of extrapolating from one incident, frankly our nation is not well.

Two parts droopy, one part Thanos, all bad attitude.

My employer has me coming in Thursdays, West Falls Church to DC. Yesterday I took a motorcycle in and bicycled home on the Custis then switched to local streets in Arlington because the path was too...

Yes! Or the Triumph Tiger 800 XC, drool, drool. The one I have with 100 horses in an antique Honda ('83 Cx650 Turbo) that is a crazy blast. But the daily commuter is a stalwart '05 Suzuki DL650...

There are simply too many factors to account for; it makes the risk statistics for an individual hard to gauge. I feel much safer blasting in on my 100 horsepower motorcycle than riding a bicycle in...

Yikes! I had to look up what the ulna is... "long bone found in the forearm that stretches from the elbow to the smallest finger". Hope it's OK!

Thanks- I'll do the Rec Center cut-through.

The most popular off-the -shelf bike mount is made by 2x2cycles. It is similar to the type that mounts on a car roof top. To me it's a bit expensive...

WOW thanks Josh! I wish I could figure out how to "like" posts on this forum so I could like all these options. Well, maybe not the shuttlebike... I'd love to see it cross Mather Gorge!
I like how...

Thanks, I don't know how I thought there was a side path on the 495 bridge that allowed access to the tow path on the MD side. Sounds like option 2 with with some variations is the best way to go. ...

I will be moving to a place in VA that is near Great Falls (the park itself, where Old Dominion Drive terminates), but would still like to commute to DC (Capitol) on occasion. Can I get there...

That's the kind of tire herniation that usually happens to the sidewalls of old dry-rotted tires. Unless it was inflated WAY over capacity, or the tire torn internally by hitting a hard rut, I'd say...

Reminds me of the heroic Bicycle Repairman by Monty Python ! De he stop on a venture after seeing you pushing your disable bike along, or did you flag him down? And if so, how did you know he'd...

Some key factors are : 1) how long the commute (or recreational) rides tend to be (miles between charges), and 2) the ratio of assist to pedal power that is needed ordesired by the particular rider....

Yes, I heard about this story some time back; sounds as if it is now coming to a head. Of course, Arizona State has about a thousand impounded scooters that it is likewise holding for ransom. What...

Huge bummer! I'm hoping that the level of cycling activity that you had will make recovery quicker, both with muscle tone and a robust immune system that will prevent infection complications from...

It seems to me that the timing of the lights coincides with the goal of moving car traffic Westward on Lee Highway. Therefore one may cross Lynne and then cross Ft. Myer drive (if moving quickly...

After a hot day, it was raining at 6:20 PM when I was making my way to the MVT after taking Memorial bridge. Three guys were walking abreast and taking up the whole trail, so the cyclist in front of...

I don't have time to see the flick but feel that taming the beast must be done on the supply side- China no longer wants our nasty crapola, and I don't blame them.
Go to you local obeseomarket and...

This calls for setting priorities, please. First let's address if police and politicians think they're above the law, because THAT matters. Though they (and cyclists) should not be vilified on...

Every streetlight is connected to electrical power... I think the docks as I envision them could be made economically, since they would not possess any locking hardware other than the fixed docking...

Aw man! And here I thought I had invented the thing! Well, there goes my fame and fortune as an inventor. Still, I think this is what needs to be done to solve the litter and unprofitable...

THIS I agree with completely. A large city or region like the Washington Metropolitan Area, if it takes finding transportation solutions seriously, should take the bull by the horns and provide...

The brushless motor controllers in the rental scooters are sophisticated and programmable by the company for capping top speed, acceleration, setting a charge rate to the battery management board,...

That is a mind-boggling commute. Manassas to the Capitol, WITH an additional 10 miles of workaround, as a COMMUTE? Again, mind=blown. Respect!

Arlington has the ART Bus; Since this connects to Fairfax, that Becomes FART.

Or the ART-CDT; All roadside trees cut down trail.

I vote for RIDE - the Roadside, Inhale Diesel Exhaust trail.
