Another option is Long Bridge Park in Crystal City, just behind the MVT. Since the 1st phase of the park is complete, they now schedule day-long events in the park on Independence Day, from 3 to 10...

I should add a few more details. Beer doesn't have nearly the same effect on me, but there is a minor effect. More importantly, I've mostly noticed the issues while running and swimming. (I spend...
Is that like "All Your Base Are Belong to Us"?
Or "Who is your floor?"

The highest weekday total ever has been 10,166 rides, which includes the morning and the evening rush hour as well as all of the other trips throughout the day, in the entire system. Don't use...
But the fact remains that many local residents will be drawn to join CaBi for commuting purposes. You can't ignore that, whether or not the system is advertised as such. CaBi clearly recognizes this...

The article was also the cover story of the Post...
Although I use CaBi a lot and I like to go for casual, beach-cruiser-type tourist-y rides around the Arlington-D.C.-Md. area, I basically plan my biking year around triathlon race preparation. I've...
FYI - I'm a big CaBi fan. I suspect that among the forum regulars, I might be one of the most frequent CaBi users. I only point this out in case anyone thinks I'm putting CaBi down. I'm not. Just...
But there are plenty of general forums where people do ask about and practice English/American. And one of the primary languages in India is English, so it's not as though there aren't plenty of...
Disclaimer: I must admit that I am an active member of a forum that discusses long drives on highways in India using motor scooters and open-top convertible automobiles. This despite the fact that I...
Honest question: Who would win in a race? Someone riding on a cyclocross bike from India to D.C.? Or the hypothetical CaBi commuter riding from North Baltimore to Old Town Alexandria? Even with the...
And this, to show that Leonard Nimoy has a sense of humor:

I'm pretty sure he will be the first person to bike-commute from India to D.C. or Arlington.
(I'm suspicious about his motives too. None of his posts have anything to do with bikes or cycling...
Capital Bikeshare is coming to Takoma Park, possibly this summer or fall. You could use CaBi for occasional commutes. Then for your own bike, you can focus on the triathlon and weekend rides. (There...
Why not use Capital Bikeshare? There are stations in Old Town now. CaBi would make the trip much more relaxing since you wouldn't have to worry about keeping an eye on your own bikes. Then you can go...
(Not necessarily bike-related, but... well, read on.)
I occasionally read online reviews for running shoes, in my never-ending quest to find the perfect running shoe for me (if that exists). I...
The bus rapid transit system is supposed to start up next spring. Only part of the route will have dedicated lanes. I don't remember if that includes Crystal Drive or not. The BRT would eventually be...
A nighttime picture would be neat, although passersby might mistake the bike for a UFO or something.
Great pictures from everyone. I didn't bring a camera so no pictures from me.
Possible safety issue in this photo. Clearly there are not enough lights. Be safe!

15th St. will be nicer next year when they realign the road between Crystal Drive and Rte. 1. Traffic lanes will be reduced to two in each direction, instead of the four lanes on one section of the...
I think it would be cool to have a more limited Bike to Work Day event on a regular basis, in addition to the bigger one this week. Maybe a few key spots in Arlington and D.C. on the first Friday of...
The post threshold would work for that guy's strategy, but the log-in requirement wouldn't. When I checked on the profile, I noticed that he had logged in recently, within the past few days. This was...
On a related note, there used to be a mysterious account on the forum. That person signed up a couple years ago but never posted anything. How did I learn about him? I noticed that he had visited my...
I like Bike to Work Week. But I'm not jealous of being a newbie. I'm glad I'm no longer a newbie. I made plenty of dumb rookie mistakes in my first month or two (although it had more to do with my...
