I’ve only ever biked to the Volkwagen dealer in Tysons from West Falls Church and it’s not so bad. never tried to get to the mall, or an office building, though.
The central area by the malls & the towers is pretty grim. I lived just west of 495 between 7 & 123 years ago, and the core was pretty bad even then (while going through the residential areas to the south or east was fine). Since then, the roads have gotten wider, the speeds are up, and the service lanes are mostly gone. If you can easily get to where you’re going without having to cross the mess in the middle (i.e., by basically staying out of Tysons), you’re golden. If you need to get into the mess of 7, 123, and International, good luck.
