I’m not too familiar with riding into the city from Silver Spring, but I lived in downtown Silver Spring for a few years. There was a guy in my building who commuted downtown and he took 14th Street. It has bike lanes pretty much the whole way. Beach Drive would probably be the most direct to Dupont Circle but on weekdays I don’t think that would be a good idea.
I tried out the 14th Street route while heading down to Alexandria on a Saturday morning a while back and it was a pretty good ride. A couple of blocks looked a little shady but nothing too bad.
There are probably 100 decent routes to get to 14th Street from the Forest Glen area.
Thanks for the quick reply. I had the same feeling about Beach Dr.: great on weekends, not so hot during the week. I’ll look into 14th St. Cheers David
