    Apparently, bike lanes don’t help churches, though.

    I thought it was reflective striping that had been sprayed over sand, it colored my tires a bit yesterday morning.

    Yes! I’ve noticed that too, I think it’s the stripe that is wearing away. Rain will eventually get rid of it, and then how will we know where the lane is? :-)

    Ice skate?

    No, but I did see an ice hockey game being played on the pond along the custis near cherrydale. Was too cold to take a picture…

    Not really sure what happened, I went down real fast! I’m not laughing now though :-(

    It’s ok because someone might be skiing on it. Right?
    edit to add: someone who’s actually good at taking pictures should get some nice shots of the alternating pavement and lumpy ice and post them to illustrate the idiocy of NVRPA’s position on the trail as a cross country ski venue. maybe we can shame them into a more sensible policy.

    I’m not good at taking pictures, but here’s a video of my commute tonight. The W&OD between maple ave and gallows in Vienna is a bumpy sheet of ice.

    My trailer was full so I left a box on the sidewalk to be picked up later after I made a couple drops.

    I’m glad you did that – made my commute nicer, got to ride by the canal for a few blocks.

    Yup. This time of year you can see it from the W&OD, but it probably gets you on some kind of watch list if you look at it too long.

    Lol. I rode around there over the summer after reading about the noise complaints from the AC units. I didn’t really notice much noise, but I don’t live that close to it…

    How can you not love this? It’s a giant bicycle wheel! Radial laced spokes, very ELITE.

    Missed connection from this morning on virginia lane. This has happened to me twice. I take the lane because I’m doing the speed limit but still get passed.

    It’s moments like these that make me not enjoy my commute as much. Maybe we can engineer an EMP pulse coupled with proximity sensors that shuts-down a car for passing too close. Or proximity sensor coupled with red light camera tech to automatically ticket someone who passes bikes too close.

    I just don’t understand why the bike lane ends halfway down fairfax drive. Why not extend it just a little further? That would have probably prevented this incident. The driver literally got so close to me that I reached out and hit his door. And I was hugging the curb.

    To the driver of the Lexus on fairfax drive tonight. Your lucky I didn’t break your side mirror after you tried to intentionally run me over. Your also lucky I forgot to charge my gopro battery.
