Good morning
- "Army Secretary John McHugh is being treated in a hospital for injuries he received in a bicycle accident but is expected to return to work soon. McHugh was riding his bike at around 6:30 p.m. Monday in Alexandria, Va., when the accident occurred. No further details of the accident were available."
- DCist profiles District Bamboo Bikes.
- A map of the "Green Mile" fancy sidewalk. While sidewalk cycling is generally less safe, this isn't so bad. There are no driveways to deal with, but one must be careful near the intersections. I actually would support signage making the sidewalk one-way for bicycles. But there needs to be good signage warning cars about the facility.
- Don't forget the Dupont-Logan Bicycle Safety Community Listening & Education Session
Get better Sect McHugh.
DC Drivers: enemy of our fighting men and women

Re: Green Mile,
Given Bethesda's lack of bike infrastructure it will be an interesting watching how CaBi users will navigate this stretch between Bethesda and Friendship Heights.
An issue with making the Green Mile one-way for cyclists is that the other side of the road only has a one person width sidewalk. Since that is the side with houses it is more heavily used by pedestrians.
