Bike ambassadors willing to mentor newbies
Bike trains – from neighborhoods to DC / Rosslyn / Ballston;

With a few tips from chris_s, I’m actually trying to build a (fairly simple) website where people can input the general route of their commute, and anyone who needs a buddy can look up routes and contact those folks. I’m not a pro, however, so it may take a bit of time to get up and running.

EXTREMELY detailed instructions on how to get across the Potomac. Like, step-by-step with maps and photos and probably videos on exactly how to get to and from each bridge between Arlington and DC. This is one of the biggest question marks for new bike commuters. The Key Bridge crossing is the only one that is even remotely straightforward.

Happy to document the 27 Trail/Memorial Bridge if needed.

A few weeks late but I figured I should provide an update: I reported the issue via the portal annoyedindc provided as a “Streets” issue, and it was cleaned up within 48 hours. Thanks everyone!

Their portal to make requests works pretty well. I’ve had glass, debris, and potholes taken care of using it.

The mobile app works pretty well too.

Thanks! Just submitted.

While you are at it, contact your county supervisor to see if they can ban the sale of alcoholic beverages in glass containers to get at the root cause of the problem.

My girlfriend likes wine too much and would never forgive me if I did! This seems more like auto glass anyway.
