• The Environmental Film Festival features a few flicks about bicycling, of course. 
• I don't agree with everything this author says, but they have some good advice in this DC-Centric article. Still, I'm not sure that there has been an increase in clueless cyclists, just because there are more cyclists total. You don't have to be new to behave badly. And since an increase in cyclists tends to result in no corresponding increase in crashes, I'm not sure you can blame the new cyclists.

I wonder if the Bike to Work Day events will be at Freedom Plaza this year due to Occupy DC?

Actually answered my own question.....the web site says that BTWD pit stop at Freedom Plaza might move to alternate location due to Occupy.

Excellent question. Answer: No. It will be a Pershing Park. There is a farmer's market there on Fridays which means BTWD will be able to use their tents in the morning and save on set-up/take-down costs.
