I'd say this pump's issues go beyond "seals."

A little historical tidbit is that the spur was the last active remnant of the W&OD, and thus part of Norfolk Southern, not CSX. AFAIK, there has not yet been a formal abandonment petition filed with...

Nitpicky comment: it's Beach Drive you're crossing, not "the parkway," in case some readers were confused about the location being discussed.

DDOT was the lead agency, but no longer. (They slow-walked it for nine years through the DEIS process.)

As of 7:30 this morning, multiple large trees down on the Custis between the Spout Run overpass and Langston. At least three are entangled with the noise barriers--it's going to be a chore clearing...

A cyclist rode off the "Saddle Club Bridge" yesterday in Rock Creek Park. It's the first bridge south of Connecticut. A piece of railing has been missing for months (it looks like a tree fell on it)...

ICYMI: another doozy of a Purple Line delay. A seven-month time extension, plus a juicy $148 million payment.

City of Falls Church -- Code of Ordinances -- Chap. 26, Article IV:

All lanes of Jones Mill Rd. have re-opened. Now if they would only hurry up and finish the Purple Line overpass at Jones Bridge... sigh...

That trail is especially awful. I generally avoid trails if at all possible.

Road design can only do so much when it comes to "fixing stupid."

As for public agencies being held liable for not fixing "obvious" defects in design or maintenance of facilities under their care,...

Due to utility work, southbound Jones Mill Rd. is closed just before East-West Hwy. The "official" detour is Twin Forks Lane, and then a left across four lanes of East-West Hwy. A lot of fun--not....

Enough riprap to build a jetty from here to the Moon. Maybe this one will be more flood-resilient.

RAIN is not for me (at least this year.) It's a three-four day commitment.

To be honest, I just take the lane in both directions underneath the Whitehurst. The PBL is not worth the trouble due to encroachments from car drivers and inattentive pedestrians. I like to have...

I stopped by the Ballston location. No complaints, and the perfect location for me. Well organized and lots of friendly volunteers.

I like the t-shirt. As for "running small," out of the bag the...

I might be tempted. The longest ride I've done in one "sitting" was 120 miles, and it was in DC/MD/VA with quite a bit of elevation. The best average speed I've logged in a century is a nearly 18mph...

They didn't put it on the north side of the noise barrier because the bike-riding, lycra-clad, hi-viz heathen might endanger property values.

While I will wait to use it before passing judgment, riding alongside 12 lanes of traffic one side and a high noise wall on the other is not generally my idea of a good time. Going to be pretty...

A "couple" hundred thousand? Golly, I'm in the wrong business.

I'll be there.

Welcome to Arlington. Perhaps the best thing to do is to download the Bike Arlington map. It shows Arlington and a good bit of "downtown" DC.

I ride from Ballston to Union Station quite...

The "why" is self-evident it seems to me, but I agree the "how" has some nuances. Still, it's only one weekend per year. The golfers, picnickers, and fisherdudes can cope, just like they do for the...

Extremely short-lived, apparently. Back to normal operations (clockwise) last evening.

I did not go down there to experience the insanity over the weekend. NPS seems to making it up as they go...

Effective 3/25 traffic on Ohio Drive will flow counter-clockwise around Hains Point. Claim those KOM/QOMs while you can.
