I do wish however they'd coordinate with the local cities such as Arlington/Alexandria/Bethesda/Roslyn, to allow folks to say ride from Old Town to Downtown and drop it off there.Rainmakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00371545851492880386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331213685542630258.post-20145301734793693922008-08-28T22:13:00.000-04:002008-08-28T22:13:00.000-04:00I wish there were more bike programs around.

At any time someone can run you off the road and you don't even see it coming.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588595816491102595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331213685542630258.post-12121719389363419352008-08-28T20:29:00.000-04:002008-08-28T20:29:00.000-04:00What a WONDERFUL program.

With practice, I'm sure you'll get more comfortable riding with traffic. Happy riding!ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.com
