What a festive and fascinating ride, Komorebi. Thank you so much for organizing and leading!! It was wonderful to ride with y'all and to see the creative tree-stump sculptures. Thanks, Casey, for...

Such a PSA fits in well with the industry playbook on "jaywalking." It's all part of automakers’ successful efforts to shift the blame to the buffoons killed by drivers.
For those not familiar with...

This is simply a note of gratitude to those who take the effort to post these reports on trail conditions. Even when there’s not been a major new weather event, I am always wondering what has melted...

Name Game Pointless Prize

Is there a street or place that bears your name? Or maybe a coffee shop? Anything at all?
For this prize, the goal is to find a location or an establishment that bears...

Thanks, bentbike33 and mstone. Your observations are supremely helpful. One direction would be in evening rush hour; the other would be later. I’m thinking I’d best not undertake this by bike… I’m...

Hi all,
I’m wondering if anyone is familiar with the Oakton, VA area. I need to get from Arlington to Coulter Lane in Oakton. It will be dark out in both directions, and I’m a bit spooked by fast...

After some months as a running commuter rather than as a bicycle commuter (while recovering from a crash), I’m back on my bike. It’s been mostly great, but I’d forgotten the extent of the vitriol...

Hi bike friends,
In case anyone missed it, here is my article on road safety and climate change.

If the new administration does not act soon, then walking and biking — the lowest-carbon mobility...

I’ve biked to DCA for one trip to Kansas and two to Massachusetts.

Each time, I’ve had early morning flights which meant riding to the airport in the dark. Twice my returns were late at night....

Hi all,

Tonight at 7 pm please join us online for the Arlington Bicycle Advisory Committee. The meeting officially begins at 7:00pm but feel free to log in anytime after 6:30 pm. The meeting ends...

I just got home. The Roosevelt Bridge is in good shape for now, wet but minimal ice. The MVT from the IoD/Rosslyn to the Roosevelt Bridge has a number of icy stretches so it's best to exercise...

Hi my friends - I'll be riding into DC shortly (from Arlington) and I'm curious about the state of the bridges. Are they still icy from last night? I'm planning to take the Roosevelt, but I can...

It so happens, I have a limerick that addresses this very matter. :)

Hi Fulton. Are the street signs at Marshall/Meade and Marshall/110 the Arlington colors, black on white? Did someone in NPS actually confirm that this is their land? I called an NPS contact this...

My thanks to those who’ve signed up to follow Lyricycle on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter…really appreciate it! I’m still learning how to do this social media stuff. Please let me know if you have...

Hi my friends,

As you may know, for years I’ve been writing limericks (in my head) whenever I ride my bicycle or go for a run. I’d like to start sharing my limericks via social media.

I’ve just...

Here’s an interesting article about how France, Italy, Britain, and other European countries are investing hundreds of millions of euros to create even more bicycle-transportation infrastructure and...

Here is an interesting piece from The Guardian on pop-up bike lanes in Germany.

Correct. The organizing committee has been discussing the situation offline. Although we are still waiting for everyone to weigh in, I can say with certainty that we will be cancelling the...

Hi my friends.
Thus far we have about 40 RSVPs for the Freezing Saddles closing celebration.
Please join us!

I filled out the Goals-of-Vision-Zero questionnaire last night. As others note, the six goals are wishy-washy, all about striving, e.g. for data collection. Stop “striving” and just do it, Arlington!...

My Abus had me scrambling at 11 pm, latched to a pole in Seven Corners. Took 30+ minutes to open so I could ride home. Into the recycling bin it went, just too risky. My current Abus works great,...
