My New winter commute. Bike to REX Bus

[lordofthemark]

the bike on the bus thing is a great way to deal with both issues of distance, and abysmal cycling infra. A major good thing thats happened the last few years.

My concern is what happens when it becomes popular enough you can’t count on a rack on the bus being available.

Maybe then it will become clear that better infra IS needed?

Glad you found a solution that works for you. You may also find yourself taking the bus/bike for one way and the bike the entire other way. You now have that option. It’s what I do most days from Fairfax (near GMU) to SE Washington. When I want to be social, I’ll ride in and go to coffee club, etc but I can still leave at a reasonable time and get home in time to make dinner by riding the bus.

Oh, and when you arrive at the bus stop to find it just pulling away, you can chase it down on bike, and get on at the next stop. I’ve had this happen at least a handful of times.

What a shame you aren’t taking advantage of the fantastic US 1 cycletrack that runs from the beltway to Belvoir. Oh, wait….Nevermind.

by “cylcetrack” you mean Cars will track you down if you are riding a bicycle, and leave track marks along your back?
