It would be more beneficial if the police themselves applied pressure to the aforementioned organizations (and Mayor's office) to get the infrastructure improved. I'm sure they don't like hanging...

Just out of curiosity, was the woman on a bike or in a car?

The letter from the Mayor's office doesn't inspire confidence that anything is going to get done soon. There is no excuse for the old bollards not to be back in place by now. Enforcement won't...

I've always thought that a series of public service announcements on television showing correct bicycle-car interactions and explaining the rules of the road would be hugely beneficial. There were...

Blatant cut and paste from an email I received today that is related to this discussion:

Smart Growth America released an excellent new report on the economic benefits of livability. Building...

Just curious how it can heal without pins since it is completely detached. Amazing how bones heal.

It helps to pack your clothes the night before so you don't forget anything. I always mimic getting dressed in my head to be sure I don't forget an essential. I also keep spare underwear and shoes...

Awesome photos. Great advertising for BTWD.

Oddly (credibly?) it shows 83,000 people dying worldwide due to bicycle...

Oh noooooo. That looks way painful and inconvenient. Do you have to have surgery? Perhaps Dickie should change from wood to titanium parts. So sorry to hear about your accident. I hope all other...

You may want to check out the Trek FX series which has reasonably priced commuter hybrids. The lowest 2013 model is MSRP as $599 but you could get a 2012 model for much less. The Spokes chain...

Raised crosswalks would do the same thing and possibly make the peds more visible. They would in effect become a speed table (of which there are many along Commonwealth Ave in Alexandria). It's...

Makes me wonder if simply installing speed humps/dips/tables before *every* crosswalk as standard operating procedure might not be the way to go. At least it would get drivers to slow down.

I disagree with rcannon a little bit. I swapped out the stock stem and replaced it with a riser stem so I have a more upright position on my dropped handlebars (this was done because of wrist...

P.S. BicycleSpace lets you try out their bikes on the weekend group rides so you get a nice long time in the saddle to see if you like the size/style.

Yup, it's also open to midnight most nights.

Same with the bakery next door to Rustico's.

Teaism won't give you the stink eye for showing up in cycling clothes and they have a nice outdoor patio. There aren't any nearby U racks on the street for a u-lock; I lock up to a nearby street...

My impression is that REI salespeople don't work on commission so I don't think the upsell was for that reason. I started out riding with a 30+ lb full suspension hybrid (looks like a nicer versioni...

Super useful. Thanks!

I presume you work at DOT HQ. I did a detail there last summer and was told I could park anywhere in the garage at a rack (you have to show your ID before entering the garage of course). The...

Can you imagine what it was like being the passengers in the front row on top? I'm sure they saw their lives pass before their eyes.

What I'm confounded by is the fact that this appears to be a...

I'd rather they decreased the width of the park to put in truly protected bike lanes; right now the plans only indicate sharrows (with on street parking).

Also, I don't understand why Crystal...

OK, you've been relieved of duty. Carry on.
