    The D.C. area has some of the best trails in the country. WashCycle has put together a regional on-line map showing where all of our regional trails are at http://washcycle.typepad.com/bikemap/.

    Now, for me, which one to do next?!

    Here is another great mapping tool for the metro DC area, including Arlington: http://www.ridethecity.com/dc. This one actually has route finding for bike transportation, priotitizing bike paths, bike lanes, and preferred roads to bike on. The cool thing is, the tool gets better the more it is used, since users can add their own rankings to routes and segments, and the tool will take that into consideration for future route selection!

    That’s a great tool, but it doesn’t yet incorporate the wonderful new part of the Four Mile Run trail that crosses under I 395 near Shirlington. Could someone in the know advise the makers of that mapping tool about that change?

    On the Bike The City routing tool, the new 4 mile run crossing of I395 does not seem to show up. We will try to contact them and get that correction made. The WashCycle map seems to be correct already for that crossing. Thanks for the feedback!

    I emailed Ride the City today via their “feedback” link to let them know about the 4 mile run bike trail crossing of I395. Their representative emailed me back immediately, thanking me for the feedback, and informing me that they would work on making that correction today! I was very impressed with this response, and will be even more impressed if they make the addition soon.
    I encourage people to test this tool (http://www.ridethecity.com/dc) and GIVE YOUR FEEDBACK! Everyone benefits by having an updated, accurate bike routing tool. We are very lucky to have this for our region, since Ride the City is only available for 6 other cities nationwide.
