I’ve cycled to that store a few times as I went out to visit one of my friends in Lincolnia. I would take the W&OD trail to Columbia Pike, stop at the store, then continue on Columbia to Braddock Road. I was making my trek out there to refinish a set of chairs and a dining room table and he had a great garage space to work on the project. To get back to DC, I come back on Edsall Road, get on South Van Dorn to Eishenhower and making my way back to the Mt Vernon Trail.
Even on a Sunday morning, Edsall Road is a terrible place to ride — freeway speeds, lots of freeway ramps, no usable sidewalks, and lots of road debris on the narrow shoulder. South Van Dorn isn’t much better, but Eisenhower’s fine.
