On that note, someone needs to flag dasgeh’s e-bike QOMs!
If she saved her rides as “E-Bike ride” instead of a regular ride it wouldn’t be an issue.

This is not generally true. They are most helpful to get from 0-12mph.
They are also really helpful to get from 12-20mph too. That’s an impressive QOM list you have on Strava…
November 3, 2016 at 7:49 pm in reply to: New Paint on the Custis Trail near Ballston today! #1059857ParticipantFYI–In a meeting this morning Kevin said that things weren’t quite finished yet.
ParticipantIt’s in the Shopping Center’s ROW, but Alexandria has an easement for the trail. Top Men are looking into it to try to fix the situation.
ParticipantI know a guy, let me see what he says.

Just do it for them.
While we won’t be doing someone else’s job, the good news is that with the press around this update, we’ve been approached by another jurisdiction who interested in completing a similar Comfort Map revision to their own map and is open to working together.

What can we do? I think vicegrip’s approach is good: do what you can, education and blinkies/reflectors, with the small number you have interactions with.
So you want to help out? Come give out lights and reflective gear with BikeArlington next week after work. And take some home to give out to ninjas too!

I bought 20 blinkies, have tagged out all 19 that were good and still can’t see the bottom.
What’d you do with the broken one? We have a guy who fixes our duds for us if you want to add it to the bag of duds at the next trail giveaway.

I personally would not do that *and* the gym, though.
You can’t spell “Legendary” without “Leg Day”….
ParticipantAn e-bike would likely cut down on your commute time in the sense that you wouldn’t have to shower or change clothes when you get to work….

Absolutely because Arlington is rather, ummmm, small. Most people without kiddies are gonna want to explore, especially DC, Alexandria and East Falls Church. (Let’s face it, McLean is a disaster) If 2-5 more miles were added around the circumference, that would give people an incentive to venture further than the county. Shirlington, the National Mall, Georgetown, C&O, Old Towne, etc. are all hot spots so it would be great if the map could show those.
Yes, we’d just need to convince DC, Alexandria, Falls Church and Fairfax governments and planners that this is something worth helping us out on! Simple, right?

This is a good map. Sorry to hear that the circulation won’t be as large as last year. I know some neighbors were glad to receive it.
On the back page, the Orange description states: “Orange routes generally have higher traffic volumes or high traffic speeds than yellow or blue routes”
I believe “yellow” should be replaced with “green”A few comments on missing steep hill arrows (I either use these routes to get hill work or choose a particular cross-street to avoid the hill in between):
Williamsburg between Harrison and George Mason – steep in both directions since the peak is in the middle (close to Emerson)
Williamsburg heading from Old Dominion towards Glebe (peak is before 35th St N)
I think you are missing the connection between 4MR and Potomac Ave (the switchbacks)
Given where you have some arrows, there likely should be some at the following:
N Harrison between Little Falls going up to 27th St NN Harrison between 16th and up towards 18th
N George Mason between 25th going up to Lee Hwy
Thank you! Most of the content is the same so your neighbors aren’t missing much. But please do remind them that they can order any of our brochures online for free!

I don’t know much about how helmets are tested
Did everyone know that the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute is located right here in Arlington???

BikeArlington twitter reporting that detour will begin on Nov 7, though they don’t link to or cite anything.
It was just an email in my inbox:
