Good afternoon
- My latest green lane blog post on 1st Street NE.
- DCBAC meeting is tomorrow night. And they want to know what you think about the Idaho Stop.
- A protected bike lane that uses the Zebra barriers DDOT is considering for Pennsylvania Ave NW.
- Watch out for this hole at Key Bridge.
- After the fireworks show, the Crystal City Connector saw 800 bikes pass through in one hour, when the usual peak for a day is about 100 an hour.
- Arlington County needs bike boxes one person argues. Arlington County is getting a bike box the county responds.
- Sheman Ave NW, now with a road diet and sharrows.
- CaBi is awesome. And soon to get two new stations in Arlington: one on Columbia Pike and one in the Buckingham neighborhood.
- “To be honest, it’s not a statement, it’s not an experiment,” Armstrong told the Register. “It’s just me wanting to go ride my bike with what in the past has been a friendly group of people who share the same interests.”
Does Armstrong like rhubarb pie? Maybe that's the shared interest between him and the other RAGBRAI riders.

Those barriers should be called something else. Zebras are crosswalks. Those look like armadillos.

Looking forward to the 1st street cycletrack. 2nd street NE is getting pretty chaotic.

Oh man, I love rhubarb pie. My grandmother grew up on a rhubarb farm and she made the best pie. Where does one get good rhubarb pie in DC? Or eggs-yellow golden rod.

Hole was covered back up at 5PM this evening - didn't look like there was anything keeping the metal plate fixed in place though, so be cautious.

The people that tried to bike through the connector right after the show were a bit stymied though, there was a sea of people on foot coming through there from (I presume) Gravelly Point. (I was walking the other way from Long Bridge Park to the Nat'l Airport Metro station)

We have rhubarb in our yard. Too far from DC, though.
