Friday Afternoon Commute - Dubious

Good afternoon. Gaithersburg will have it's first Kidical Mass ride this weekend. 

• Paperwork all signed on long-opened Osprey Bridge
• DC real estate agents use CaBi to show houses. “Proximity to bike shares is a selling point,” Ms. Harrison said.
• Volunteers still needed for the Tour de Fat. 
• An explanation of the Capital Bikeshare labor investigation.
• Images of the 11th Street Bridge, Anacostia Trail and Overlooks. New ramps on that opened today "Work also continues on the pedestrian and bicycle path and two scenic overlooks that will extend out from the shared path offering beautiful views of Anacostia, the Navy Yard and the Nationals Park."
• Seersucker Social on July 7th
• Phoenix Bikes prepares to change locations. 
• New Montgomery County zoning regulations "New buildings would also have to accommodate alternate modes of transportation by providing bike parking. Larger buildings will have to include space for car sharing, while developers would be able to swap out car parking spaces for carpool spaces, bikeshare stations or changing facilities."
• Consultants recommend not putting bike lanes on Maple Avenue in Vienna and instead "using side streets to feed cyclists onto the corridor, where bike parking would be made available."
• More on the Save the Trail 5k
• "A $250,000 surge of cash from [Montgomery County's] fiscal 2014's budget will go in part towards a study of where bicycle docks will be located, Roshdieh said, to determine where new lanes, markings or signs need to be placed."
• Virginia state Del. Randy Minchew (R-Loudoun) is "dubious" of claims that in areas like Arlington, trails and bike lanes are becoming “increasingly important” [I can't find the actual interview online yet]
• Comparing the density of bike share systems.
• I have never seen bike parking like the new parking at Baltimore's Camden and Penn stations.
• Gabe Klein now just stealing every thing that DDOT did while he was here.

Save the Trail. Build the Purple Line.

I, for one, will be happy to see the "Friends or the Trail" sheepishly return to using the new, improved, lit and connected trail, along with thousands who really can't use it now.

Minchew is a Republican Virginia State Delegate. It doesn't get any more irrational in my state.

I'm having a hard time even picturing how that bike...rack?.... Is supposed to work.
