Bluemont Neighborhood (Arlington, VA) celebrates new CABI stations Saturday 2/27/2016

Cool. So this means all the vitriol over the neighborhood not liking the original proposed locations was overblown. I do hope the next expansion makes it out to Bluemont/Bon Air Park somehow.

I went this morning. About 20 people came out to see the two new stations in the neighborhood.

Well, last year when the Lacy Woods station was mentioned as possible, I claimed I would join if it occurred (http://bikearlingtonforum.com/showthread.php?9420-Proposed-stations-in-Westover-Village&p=126296#post126296). I did actually join last Saturday since I was taking my old bike in for a brake replacement (Soooo much better now. No matter how much I or the bike shop fiddled with the old ones, I wasn’t stopping well and apparently they were touching the wheel regularly and causing me not to go well either) and needed to get home from the shop in Clarendon. Worked well for a pick-up today too. So convenient. Sure, the bikes aren’t super fast and the brakes vary from bike to bike, but it was so easy to bike there and back. I will definitely be using this for trips to the metro station (should it be a period where the orange line is actually functioning), and perhaps light shopping – parking is not fun in Clarendon.
