@dasgeh, I tried this route this AM and it was great. Thanks!

A few observations about the CaBi bikes: The brakes were not very good, which made the big downhill hairy ( I don’t know if all CaBI brakes are not good, or if that particular bike was especially bad). Also they are not fast (which may be a massive understatement but there ya go.) I’ll definitely do this again on nice mornings, I will just need to budget more time to making it to work. All in all a nice change up to my morning commute.

Thanks!
I just checked that route on a map and it looks great.
I’ll give it a go this Thurs, if the weather is nice. I plan on being a very fair-weather biker and the CaBi seems a great way to do this (including one way all downhill rides!) I’ll report back later…

Thanks,

I’ll be riding to 18th and E.

I plan on trying the Capital Bikeshare from Arlington to DC as part of an occasional morning commute. I ride the Metro from WFC, and thought on a nice day it would be pleasant to grab a bikeshare at Courthouse and complete the commute to DC by bike!

Are the bike lanes in Arlington generally safe to ride? What would be the best way to get to downtown?

Thanks!
