Please, SPEAK UP. What outside of the box thinking is missing from Arlington's draft Bike Element? Is it more trails? Because the "environmental" lobby is already gearing up to fight any new trail...

Have you been to a race? There are plenty of racers who aren't skinny.

My point is that if we ban people according to the danger they pose when maxing out their ABILITY, and we think ebikes...

By this logic, should we ban cat 2s who weigh more than 250lbs? They are far faster and weigh more than 30 lbs more than me on my road bike...

The policy discussion is about whether to allow ebikes on the trail, and if so, what the assist should be limited to. Bikes can go as fast as the user gets them going.

Trollheim was totally non-icy by the 9am shift

There's a lot of pearl clutching about dangerous riding on trails. But when we look at the numbers of when trail users are getting seriously injured or killed, we find that generally, a car is...

We've gone over why speed is better set at 20mph (to keep up with traffic for the inevitable times when ebikes are on roads; also, it's super easy for an adult to clear 20mph even on a CaBi on a...

I disagree that the trails are not designed for ebikes, or at least beyond the fact that trails aren't designed for bikes, really, or designed for the volume they often see (and are likely to see as...

The question is what are you studying. In this case, it's not "do ebikes make any given rider faster" but "would allowing ebikes on trails* increase speeds of all bikes on trails." The reason...

But they studied who was using the trail. It's irrelevant _why_ they were using the trail.

Oh, right. :-) I'll fix that

As someone who writes rules for a living, it's generally not a good idea to write rules that affected thousands based on one.

Not really a missed connection, but

Me: biking eastbound in the [horrible, terrible, no good, very bad] L street "PBL", approaching the non-protected part in front of the Red Lion hotel
You:...

Do drivers ever get frustrated where there's no bike lane and you take the lane?

I would say they should still sign the detour to Madison. The detour signs also make drivers aware that they need to expect an increased volume of cyclists, and since that volume will likely come on...

Snow had covered the Custis & TR Bridge this morning. But as a benefit to the cold, it was not slick at all - just squeaky. Easy peasy to ride on.

I'll probably still take Key Bridge home,...

I biked this morning. No problems. I also have hydraulic brakes.

Thanks. I'll bring this up.

As reference, I've been asking for ACPD officers on bikes since I joined the BAC. I have not been successful -- ACPD consistently says their officers need to be...

2100 Clarendon Blvd (Courthouse), 3rd floor conference room (it's on the atrium - if you come up the stairs or elevator, just look for bikes)

Yes, ACPD has been engaging with the BAC and the Pedestrian Advisory Committee. In fact, they'll be at our February joint meeting. If you have questions, post them here or get them to me in...

Congrats on getting published. That's super cool.

I don't mind these ramp crossings because (1) there are good sightlines, (2) at the bottom of the 50EB-27EB ramp, drivers generally have to stop anyway, and (3) because of the traffic lights on...

Google has some bad information, so isn't giving you some of the better options.

If you don't mind a little bit of riding on the Pike, I'd take this route (Memorial Bridge -> 27 Trail -> Pike...

If anyone can fix the title to be January 2019, that would be nice.

Arlington's Bicycle Advisory Committee is having our first joint BAC-PAC meeting of the year planned for Monday, February 4 (our regularly scheduled February BAC meeting) and we've got a great agenda...
