It will soon be a bit better when the new ped/bike bridge over I395 is done. I ride regularly on Beauregard near there. Traffic is a bit heavy but people are pretty nice about giving me space. Anything specific you want to know?

Kenmore between Van Dorn and Seminary in Alexandria is signed for 15 MPH.

One day I was without my bike waiting for a bus with two bikers traveling together. When the bus arrived, there was already a bike on the rack. Each of the biker said to the other, “You go, I’ll wait. ” Finally, both stayed.

Any effect on the MVT where it goes under the bridge? If they were to do a major rebuild I’d love to see that widened. But all I’m realistically hoping is that they don’t have to close it during the repairs.

Yeah I like the bike lanes on Commonweath and there aren’t as many stop signs or lights as Royal or the MVT through Old Town. Have they reopened Four Mile Run trail under the bridges to MVT then?

Hooray! I have been waiting for this!

I’m not sure I like your idea for Wilson and Clarendon. I commute to Rosslyn, and the hill from Courthouse on Clarendon is steeper than Wilson. So I really prefer going downhill on Clarendon and uphill on Wilson.

I had a Citizen Tokyo which I loved – until the poor quality got me. When my second rear wheel self destructed, that was the end for me. I bought myself a Giant Escape. While I miss the small storage profile and ability to take the folder on Metro in rush hour, I have been happier overall.

Am I the only one who thinks this cycle track on Hayes is stupid? It leads to the green bike lanes that are unusable at best and dangerous at worst. There are cars and buses crossing and blocking the lane all the time dropping and picking up passengers at the Metro entrances.

Near the Jefferson Memorial you will find the access point to the bike/pedestrian path on the 14th St. Bridge. This leads directly to the MVT.

Completion of the other trail under Humpback bridge would probably be part of it. The path from Columbia Pike to Joyce is another part. The final part would be a safe, marked, and DOD-approved path through the Pentagon parking lot to the Humpback bridge crossing.

I didn’t realize that the ramp from 2nd St. to Washington Blvd would lead to the new trail on the south side of 50. But I’ve ridden both of the routes to the MVT and I still would like a better way.

[jcflack54]

Make a good connection between 2nd Street South and the newly renovated bike path along Arlington Blvd to Rosslyn.
Make sure there is a safe way to get from the Columbia Pike bike boulevards to Joyce Street.
Bonus points if we can get from Columbia Pike to the MVT more easily – but I think that would take cooperation from DOD and the National Park Service.

My problem with the conflicting rules is the confusion they cause. I appreciate the driver who stopped and waved me through, but if I am already stopped, it’s going to take me a few seconds to get started again, so they might as well go. But then there is this exchange of “you go”s that increases the risk that we’ll go at the same time – and collide.
