Oh I hadn’t thought about the Ellipse, actually…maybe I’ll try that on my ride home today! Thanks! Although does that fall within the boundaries of the central business district, where it is illegal for cyclists to ride on the sidewalk?
Ugh it was the 14th and Constitution accident that got me shook up and prompted me to join the forum to seek some advice…scary — between that yesterday, the cyclist killed at Walter Reed and Four Mile Run in S. Arlington last month, and the runner who was killed last month waiting to cross GW parkway by Memorial Bridge, I’m a little concerned, as these are all either on or very close to my normal cycling/running routes. I suppose anything can happen anywhere, but I’d prefer to minimize my risk…the Ellipse seems like the perfect solution, hopefully it will work out!
