DHS / Nebraska Avenue Complex commuters?

Does anybody commute to DHS / Nebraska avenue? I am considering a job change and wondering how easy/hard it would be to get there from Arlington. Looks pretty simple. Also, What kind of on campus bike facilities do they have: Bike room/lockup/showers and all that.

Thanks!

I don’t know anything about the complex, but I have ridden to AU before from Arlington.
If you live down near Clarendon/Courthouse, etc, then you can ride into DC via Key Bridge. Someone else will need to help you with the best route that way.

I live farther out and take the Chain Bridge. Here is how I get from Chain Bridge up to Potomac Avenue (requires bike portage)

From there you can take some side roads or just go up to Loughboro/Nebraska and ride straight there.

Note that your commute will be U-shaped: down to the river and back up to DHS. Both ways. You will have hills.

I bike from south of Alexandria to just east of there by a couple of blocks. I have no idea on their facilities, but getting to there isn’t too bad so long as you don’t mind hills. I don’t know the Chain Bridge route, but your Key Bridge route isn’t too bad through Georgetown. Since I’m a little east, I stay in Rock Creek Park and come up from behind at Connecticut Ave/Calvert St then behind the schools and Cathederal.
