Despite the Hurricane I managed to go on bike rides both days the weekend. On Saturday at 11am I had the CCT all to myself. But yesterday the trails were crowded.
- On Wednesday there's a launch party for a new book entitled Where to Bike Washington, DC at the Wilderness Society.
- The MLK memorial really needs bike parking. Ran into a woman at the CaBi station yesterday. She hadn't been on a bicycle in 20 years but was going to ride down to the Memorial. I told her there were no stations nearby and she'll probably have to pay overage fees, but she didn't mind. Also, on both Saturday and Sunday I saw Park Police writing parking tickets for the half dozen cars illegally parking on Independence in front of the memorial.
- Tim Kelley of BikeArlington is going to be meeting with NPS on bike issues and is looking for suggested topics. Specifically Arlington topics, though people are suggesting more.
- Driver has a story about careless cyclists. But part of the problem is the confusing trail/road intersection.
- Richard Layman has an assortment of bicycle stories from around the world.
There is bike parking at the MLK, Jr. memorial. The closest parking (5-6? lollipop racks) wasn't accessible on Sunday, but another set was available just down the access road (a bit south).

This morning was busy with bike traffic, too. It was great to see.
