Strongly agree, car lanes DO need more songbirds.

Gearin' Up in DC takes parts. Really good organization

Yeesh, glad that's not my commute, and even gladder it wasn't a surprise closure the day I did my W&OD out and back.

I just saw on Twitter that there's an 8 mile detour around a 4 mile stretch of the W&OD in Ashburn coming April 11-15. They didn't have more detail - anyone know more?

Thanks for all the replies. I ended up ignoring everyone. I stopped at South Street Under in Leesburg on the way home for lunch, mostly because I've been there before. I pointedly did NOT stop at any...

If someone were to ride from DC to Purcellville and back on the W&OD, where might be some good spots to stop for refreshments and perhaps a bathroom?

If you've done the out and back century-ish...

I hope the cyclist is ok. Remember this is a crash between a cyclist and a DRIVER. The driver hit the cyclist with his/her pickup truck. The driver may or may not have been at fault, but the pickup...

Note that this is jurisdiction-specific. To do this in DC, you can open a 311 ticket either via Twitter or the website. They also have an app if you're really into it.

While I appreciate the offer and think DC Bike Party is great, I would not be in favor of you all taking over FSLNHPP. It's a Freezing Saddles party, not a bike party - the whole point is to...

For the last time, no blinky lights on MUPS! Admit it, or I shall punch you a second time!

Ineligible because I forgot to go at least a mile (I rode more than a mile TODAY but not this particular ride) but I figured it would be appreciated here. My general contractor had someone "borrow"...

One of these days I'm going to write a plugin for the Freezing Saddles website that automatically changes "Bollard Busters" to something creative. But I can't think what that creative thing might be....

I hate this, but I think it's the right call.

Miss Pete all the time. Dave, too

It doesn't at all. The pedestrian clearly could use professional help. However, I have no use for the type of person who injects him/herself into an established community to complain about an...

Did the car traveling next to you also fail to yield to the pedestrian? From your description it sounds like you should have stopped, but that his reaction was completely insane

Have not done it for travel, though have always been intrigued by the idea.

Most recently, my wife had to change travel plans at the last minute and be at the airport very early so Metro wasn't an...

I would try Proteus in College Park, though I can not personally speak from experience on bike fitting. They're just good bike people

Seems like closing the right lane to cars would solve most of the problems. At all but peak times I can't imagine there'd be conflicts except with inconsiderate jerks, and there's no way to engineer...

I was a car commuter in 2004 and distinctly remember one flying in the side window of my truck and hitting the back window right behind my head at 70MPH on 66. That was fun. I remember not being...

Tiny Torx Screwdriver is the name of my next band

Congratulations to 2021 top Pointless Kid MBear! My younger daughter, who finished second, was constantly checking the leaderboard. "Did MBear ride today?" If she did, mine wanted to go out for a...

As I've said before, I didn't know Chris well, but he was the sort of person who immediately felt like a friend. I miss him and his contribution to BAFS and the DMV cycling community. He always...

So it turns out I'm a terrible prize-giver, but we do have some winners!

2020: tomacsh - I would have done something last year but then COVID and no happy hour and everything went by the wayside....

I would never do such a thing, you're thinking of Judd
