The parkway is a sore point for me. I've lived on the southern end of the parkway, near the split into the Franconia-Springfield parkway and the continuation of the Fairfax County Parkway, since...

I used to rely on CaBi for the last leg of my commute. The station I used was often out of bikes. I used to send reports but I got the impression they did not care one bit.

The sign on the right with the emergency calling information has a number 37 on it. Does that help?

A few years ago I took several bins of bike parts to Phoenix Bikes.

Regarding the wheels - a modern 36 spoke wheel is pretty indestructible. My Kona Sutra is heavier than an M1 tank, but it's also as rugged as an M1 tank. Part of that ruggedness comes from the...

I sort of had the opposite experience. My membership was supposed to renew in April 2020. COVID hit right before then, and I started working from home and stopped using CaBi. I didn't pay...

Why use a 2 stroke engine when you can use a jet?

Here's a photo from when I was there in 2014. Have a good time!

The Mount Vernon trail will get you to Mount Vernon. From here take Mount Vernon Highway to Route 1. Mount Vernon Highway has a side path, but I'd recommend riding on the road and dealing with the...

Fairfax County has some candidates. I've bike camped at Pohick Bay several times, and you'd have good bike-friendly routes from DC down there. Burke Lake is another option with decent routes. Bull...

Minor clarification - As of a year or two ago, the PAC is now free, at least for active duty and government civilians. There are also several large bike racks right outside the PAC that are...

Maybe not by themselves, but with education and enforcement, they will.

If we don't have laws, then education and enforcement can't happen.

Yes, motor vehicle laws are confusing, and probably...

I used to bike commute from Springfield to the Pentagon. The bike paths in Arlington and Alexandria are pretty good. There are several popular trails and paths leading to the Pentagon.

Sorry, but I disagree. The bumper sticker (and headline) clearly implies that autonomous vehicles can eliminate all accidents. Apply the reasonable person standard.

If I had put that...

.....

The bumper sticker you posted in your first post implies something different -- that there is at least some significant decrease in accidents altogether and across the board. "Completely avoided"! ...

I've spent some of my career in autonomous vehicles and simulation.

I'm extremely skeptical of their claims.

"We were told that there's a hot tin roof somewhere around here. Do you know where it is?"

Ah, so you're the one who decided that the bike lanes along I-66 should be next to the freeway. Away, away with you!

Yeah, I have mixed feelings about that also. I wasn't happy when they paved the trail south of the lake to Old Keene Mill since a muddy single track trail was perfectly adequate for me, but it does...

It's good to see these improvements. I used to live in that neighborhood and remember having to walk my bike across the train tracks before they installed the bridge from Carrleigh Parkway. I've...

They have done a fair job adding bike lanes to that area, so you could probably come up with some good routes that don't cross Route 1 and stay close to home. They've also added some good bike...
