Does it count towards a OneEighth Sighting if I told Dickie I'd visit him at the Rosslyn BTWD pitstop and then saw him there? I biked from my apartment near Ballston down to the Rosslyn pitstop and...

To the fellow cyclist who was at the bike rack outside the Harris Teeter in Ballston tonight at the same time as me:

I felt a sense of camaraderie as we both spent about 2 minutes fitting each of...

Looks like these residents will know exactly how many pre-sunrise bike commuters head east on the W&OD!

Chrome was trying to teach you the Pythagorean Theorem!

Two things:

1. I am glad that the procedure went well and wish you a full and speedy recovery.
2. If you or anyone you know has a 3D printer, they need to use this to make a coat rack out of the...

I'll add that just in case you don't have an escort for the ride home, you can always go west on Washington Boulevard to get to the East Falls Church Metro station. Getting home that way won't be as...

I found the article interesting, too. I was hoping the author would give a more balanced view of the argument ("should there be protected bicycle lanes?"), but the article is definitely an opinion...

I just pictured two cyclists, each trying to get a KOM on opposite traveling Strava segments that pass under that bridge, colliding in a big jumble of stupid.

I'm saving up using all three (like, dislike, and ELITE) for a post that I find enjoyable, detestable, yet bada$$ at the same time. It'd be like a really horrible joke that you still laugh at (one...

I plan on being there!

Also, FYI for those not familiar with the area who are coming from the east or south (I'm near the Ballston area): I recommend this route to get to Westover from the Custis...

Finally finished the video from my ride down in Pinellas County, Florida, last Tuesday. I checked out a couple of the trails there and decided to go from one end of the peninsula to the other before...

Those are really nice pics! I wish I was there, even though I'd probably be on my own since I'm a little slower and tend to get distracted by everything (especially the beautiful countryside).

I'm not sure if this is related, but they removed the "illegal" stop signs along W&OD near Barcroft Park.

Before: Red stop sign with "Required by Law" underneath it, ground having "Stop" written...

I agree with you that poor sight lines, blind spots, subpar markings, and driver/cyclist ignorance/inattentiveness do contribute to vehicle-cyclist accidents. I also agree with being aware of drivers...

GreaterGreaterWashington had an article about vehicles blocking the L Street cycletrack: http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/18756/whos-blocking-l-street-today-and-what-can-we-do/

After reading and re-reading his article, it seems to me that he didn't use (or maybe know of) all the available resources around him to help with bike commuting, like a coworker, local bike group...

Oh yeah, I know THAT one in Clearwater Beach (http://goo.gl/maps/7u4fK)! My sister (whom I was visiting) always explains the stupidity to me every time we go around it whenever I'm down there.

I recommend this route: http://goo.gl/maps/E8pBV

Some notes on this route:

The first 2 blocks would have to be done on-road/sidewalk on Telegraph, but the sidewalk turns into a wide paved...

I just came back from a trip to Clearwater, FL, where I did some biking and encountered a few roundabouts. I think the best variation on the roundabout is the one that is less subtle about...

I think the National Capitol Columns in the National Arboretum are really cool, especially due to their history. They're like DC's own Roman ruins!

Does the 22-lb. bag of cat food fit in my bike basket? Yes!

I made my way to Ballston from the Potomac Yard Petsmart on the 4MR and W&OD trails this afternoon while lugging this bag...

I saw the video of the incident, and it is quite disturbing. Here's a link to a more in-depth article that has the video (I strongly suggest not playing the video if you don't have the stomach for...

What's an avulsion fracture? From Wikipedia:



No "average" person could do that, so I think that makes you bada**. I hope you heal in full so you can get back on your bike again!

I never actually thought of this. I think it would be a very useful thing for us to communicate to drivers when encountering a bike lane blocker. We could say, "It's safer for you, your passengers,...

To the driver of the Silver POS (they come in every make and model these days!) on southbound Carlin Springs Rd just before the intersection with Thomas St:

We're not in England, so you should...
