    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    I'm pretty sure he will be the first person to bike-commute from India to D.C. or Arlington.

    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...
