ParticipantThat was fun, let’s do it again!

Just checking. Is there an official pre-Phoenix gathering?
For people who are not reading this forum on a daily basis, what is the strategy for getting the word out?
At the least, we need to post comments to the Strava Bike Arlington group and perhaps also to each of the teams.
How else can we make sure everyone knows and what’s our strategy for getting coverage from Fox News, The Daily Show, New York Times and the City Paper?I think that failure by a team member to read this forum daily (if not hourly) should result in that team losing 10 points for each day missed. :rolleyes:
ParticipantWhatever solution may be required can’t result in you missing any days of riding from now until March 20. Also, anyone who says that the squeak cannot be immediately fixed is probably a saboteur and should not be trusted.
ParticipantThe cones in the middle of the cut-out appeared to be back today.
Participant“25 kinds of beer on tap and about 50 others available in bottles.”
Can we find someplace that has a larger selection of beer? :rolleyes: Looking forward to it.
ParticipantEmbrace the wind!
ParticipantThe ride across the 14 Street bridge this morning was worse than this evening.
ParticipantWet and windy ride to Capitol Hill this morning, but not too bad. Only saw one other bike commuter.

Nobody will be impressed by your story of how you had to ride downhill both ways…
Since I go back to North Arlington, the Garmin still shows a climb!
ParticipantMy Garmin always shows about a 250 feet increase elevation from when I finish my ride into work in the morning and then leave in the evening.

i’ve reached out to President, Fairfax Advocates for Better Bicycling (FABB)/Bruce Wright and Susan Stillman who is a FABB member and (I think) cycle rep in Vienna. No word yet but i’ll ask at FABB mtg on wed, 20 feb, 1930 at Patrick Henry Library in Vienna.
Any information at the FABB meeting about what Vienna is up to?

Data point: She *did*. She specifically asked the ABAC and Arlington County staff for their feedback the same week it was introduced. And the feedback of the ABAC and AC staff pretty much reflected what you’ve seen here. We saw the result.
Extrapolate as you will.
Asking for feedback the same week that the bill was introduced does not constitute meaningful outreach. I doubt that her interaction with Loudoun County officials was limited to that week.

Nice. God forbid someone choose a safer option when NPS might be improving things at some point in the future.
Yes, I am sure that it is at the top of NPS’ priorities. After all, they are always so quick to remedy having ugly barriers and unsafe conditions for cyclists. :rolleyes:
