Hello --

+1 for loving the detour. This was my first day bike commuting this week so I don't know exactly when it happened, but the trail section between Quinn and Oak is open now. Coming...

Wow, interesting, Bobco! Quite an adventure. Wonder if you could get there by kayak, if you were so inclined? I'm not a kayaker so I have no idea if that is even possible or where you would start....

Thank you lordofthemark for shepherding me through much of Virginia. Alexandria was the part that was least familiar to me. You were a great guide, especially for the novice cyclist whose friends...

These were scattered throughout Farragut Square this morning:

It's just their way of congratulating you for your victory in the "Grand Grand Grand Masters division."

These are all really great comments -- again, if you can't attend a meeting and haven't already contacted VDOT, I implore you to cut and paste your comment and send it to...

Hello --

The VDOT "Transform 66" project continues apace. The good news is that VDOT has responded to our requests and included a 22 mile mixed use trail parallel to I-66 all the way from the...

It was more in the category of being slightly freaked out by someone following me who had not communicated in any way. It impacts my sense of safety. I sped up, he fell back and then worked hard to...

I'm just gonna leave this here.

I'll take Judd's bait.

I think the blog post raised several distinct issues. To the extent it perhaps conflated some of those issues, I feel regret and a sense of missed opportunity. In the end,...

I can do another video on my way home if need be.

Thank you for your persistence, Steve -- maybe it's time to drop a dime on The Washington Post? Dr. Gridlock, Ashley Halsey, one of the Metro columnists like Petula Dvorak?

Or local business...

What is your pace like?

My son and I will be volunteers at the aid station near the Pentagon. Say hi if you pass through. No, I'm not bitter at all about spending Mother's Day helping my son get community service hours,...

This morning on the W&OD:

Video, if this link works:

I think there are three solid seconds of eyeballs, but I was riding into a blinding light this morning. But yikes,...

Oh well, so much for another year of guilty pleasure watching the Slackers fall farther and farther behind on the points leaderboard while maintaining a healthy lead on the team average speed...

Sorry -- just saw this -- Dkel may have dealt with this already, but I do know the senior pastor at Church of the Pilgrims in passing. Let me know if I can help.

Erin --

I have never seen such a visual, but I think it would be useful. In a conversation with my boss, it became clear she was very mistaken about what "Bikes May Use Full Lane" meant. So some...

Hi Kathy -- I felt safe on all sections of the trail. That said, I haven't lived near that area in over nine years, so I'm not necessarily in the know about possible trouble spots.

The trail...

I rode through on Saturday and I agree. They've also included a lot of thoughtful landscaping with freshly planted native saplings along this section of the trail. This is the part of the trail...

And a One Eighth sighting after coffee this morning (with dcv and americancyclo):

I would say this depends on whether you are the "early adopter" kind of person, or if you prefer to let new technology be alpha, beta, gamma and delta tested before jumping on board. That said, I've...

Here are some still photos from my video of this morning's commute. The camera quality is quite good; no complaints there.
