Here's a real interaction between VDOT and Town of Herndon (TOH) Traffic Manager that pretty much sums it up. Paraphrased dramatization.

VDOT: "Hey we'd like to put Bicycle May use Full Lane"...

I attended last year and found it to be kid friendly. My 8-10 year olds would have loved it.

I've commuted the last few years on a step through bike with roller brakes (hub brakes popular outside the US), chain guard, upright ride and the like. Bikes like theses are out there, but hard to...

AOL! Dulles, VA. Loudoun County, if you can believe it. I'm also their official bicycle advocate (not my day job). The biggest help has been a facilities guy that is also a cyclist.

Not bad...

It depends on how it's implemented. We don't have program requirements yet (proof that you biked x% of the time). It's all honor system at my office, but results may vary.

Not sure why it's trouble? I signed up to auto-enroll every month. I get an email confirming my scheduled order (no action needed on my part) and then I get the check 10 days later. The benefit...

At my office:

1. Covered parking that's as convenient as the closest car space.
2. Commuter Benefit $20 month (stipend not pre-tax)
3. Shower with towel service
4. Wiki with bicycle...

I saw them there last month and gave an audible "Ooooh! Nice!"

Looks like Green Lizard opens at 7am on weekdays.

Funny you should write this post... I rode past Green Lizard Bike/Coffee shop in Herndon this AM and thought that we should do a Herndon FCC. I might be the only attendee for Herndon, but it's a...

There is a paved trail that connects Palm Springs Drive to your destination. You could go through Vienna and get to it that way, so you'd have to take a more southernly route through Vienna instead...

I have the same cap. It keeps the sweat it of my eyes. When it starts to stink add some white vinegar to the sink with your detergent. It will help, but I think mine will succomb to stink before...

Another idea is to combine a good Ulock with a chain. I have a 7mm Abus Keyed Chain (they make 6mm and 8mm) and an OnGaurd mid-level Ulock. Sometimes I use a chain + Ulock, since it takes different...

I've been commuting on a Shimano Nexus 3 speed for the past three years. Other than being re-assembled incorrectly bike a bike shop resulting in imposion I haven't had much trouble. Overall they...

Eyewear is important, particularly when the Cicadas are coming... http://www.businessinsider.com/17-year-brood-2-cicadas-2013-3

I have a set of Smith glasses with interchangeable lenses. They've...

We'll just need to focus on Bike to Work Week as an event. Our company has had a company-wide event on BTWD for the last four years. This year they finally rescheduled to May 16th.

Sales pitches like that make me cringe. If you ride the sidepath or the sidewalk you'll probably be going faster on your MTB anyhow.

I once heard a sales buy in a bike shop tell a customer,...

Only a matter of time before these dynamic signs are hacked with the message "Zombies ahead, stop your cars and RUN!"

I saw something promising in the front window of Green Lizard. A bike with FENDERS! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Wow. Cool! I can only hope they have more bells/fenders/racks/bags/lights than shoes...

You sure it wasn't a Herndon Police Car? They sit there and nail people coming down the hill toward the Herndon Post office. I don't think Herndon has a stop sign ordinance yet, but I've heard...

Bikes@Vienna is a dealer for peterwhitecycles who's a light specialist. They can get anything on the Peter White site, and they have quite a selection of lights (dyno & battery) in stock. They...

As I recall from the FABB meeting, the date on the sign was incorrect. I don't think there is a meeting on 2/26.

We need to send out the masses to video xwalk offenses, create a place to post the vids and shame the drivers. Is it illegal to push an empty baby stroller into a crosswalk and film the result?

Like GuyContinental I'm a reverse commuter, but it's from Oak Hill (South of Toll Rd, South of Herndon) to Route 28/W&OD area. 15 miles round trip. On my big-ol' three speed it takes me 35 to 45...

Grasshoppers - those who ride with low seats, noted by their knees poking out to the side (grasshopper roadies are the rarest of these)

What about "Gutter Bunny?"

Is there a term to describe...
