Totally agree with this. There is no need for "fake" signs giving priority to street traffic.

I saw the newsletter. To be honest, I don't see what their complaints are about with respect to the St. Ann's location since there is a decent amount of space with the Custis extension and Harrison...

A Karate Monkey's geometry with drop bars has worked for a few folks.

It's all about icy roads/trails, in my experience, which can form without much or any natural precipitation. Deep snow/slush still warrants wide/stubby MTB tires.

This is a marginally more accurate map of where to catch the WOD off Wilson Blvd.

My preferred route is #2. While it gets you past the Glebe and I-66 intersection, its connection to the Custis Trail is still quite secluded and dark.

The Custis Trail is the fastest way to get...

This paper says yes in the Netherlands.

Bicycle more? Sure. Whether it's meaningful is something else. And whether they are willing to sacrifice something else for it is yet another -- perhaps the most important -- question.

Is a bike lane a segregated facility?

Anyway, I largely agree with Dismal Scientist. If it matters, I try to think of cycling within a bigger context of transportation in general ... this is...

Even in areas with a high concentration of facilities, the direct risk of mortality and injury from cycling is higher than driving. If that is how you define safety, then facilities are not going to...

I guess. Surveys without an appropriate context often produce dubious results. How many people want lower taxes? How many people want to lower Medicare -- or a long list of other stuff --...

OK. Then it sounds like our expectations agree.

Does the Parks Dept maintain the MUPs? I think yes such that it's a park/recreation first.

IMO, it's a park that everyone is entitled to reasonable use. So a bunch of kids playing hopscotch on...

EDIT ... I seem to have lost DaveK's text. Sorry.

I agree that Arlington, VA constituents will not go for widespread use of such facilities. I personally would vote against broad use of...

There is a long list of things that I'd like to chalk up to ignorance. But the lack of support is more likely, IME, due to arguments that are simply unconvincing or undesirable to constituents in...

Fit is the most important aspect of the bike. Unless you have lots of experience with your likes/dislikes, I think you'll get more value buying at a good LBS. Although you'll probably get the best...

It's been called the Arlington Loop and/or Arlington Triangle for years. It's silly to change things just for the sake of changing thing.

For what it's worth, sometimes people simply need to vent. Your response let him get something off his chest but defused the situation.

While trying to rationalize it is likely a lost cause,...

Except that isn't the sharing -- cyclist on the corner of the road and sharing laterally -- that gives drivers "problems". They have problems sharing sequentially.

Stop looking. You'll stop buying. ;)

In another thread, I wrote the following:

I leave them on for the season. In your situation, given that you rarely ride the MTB, I'd be even more inclined to do so.

Here are my thoughts on studded tires.
