My 13yo bikes on the W&OD Trail daily to & from school. At the crossing of Walter Reed Dr, the drivers heading south are allowed to turn right on red when the trail traffic has a green My child sees close calls weekly here @arlingtondes.bsky.social refuses to put in a no right on red. Why?

Another day in this 'short' week that I keep mistaking for Friday. It may be related to me having to work this weekend. When will it end?!

Are my days of bitching about fireworks numbered? The Nextdoor comments are quite the range... The night sky will come alive with hundreds of synchronized drones creating patriotic scenes, stunning visuals and a one-of-a-kind celebration of America’s 250th anniversary ❤️🤍💙

Much to think about

I assume there are alternative routes that *motorised vehicles* can take, they’re not actually excluded, just have to use a slightly longer route at minor inconvenience to themselves and no additional physical effort whatsoever? Unlike my cycle commute to work the long way to avoid busy roads…

Today, my GF and I went to a coffeehouse right after Bike Bus. I was wearing my Bike Bus jacket. A 78 year old lady who lives along our route came up to us, told us how much the Bike Bus enlivened the street, thanked us, and asked when the next brass band parade ride was. Reader, I did tear up.

Had a lovely bike to work day! Thanks for all those who came by including @nduley.bsky.social ! #bikeva #btwd #bicycle

My name is Nancy, and I have a #RightOnRedRage problem, yelling at drivers taking the turn or clearly intending to take the turn. Maybe I should only cross at the other part of the intersection where I am less likely to get triggered.

not the point here but what bank doesn't have an online portal for exactly this type of thing?

I avoided GWMP left turns at Belle View Blvd and Belle Haven Rd even before the road diet changes. What a cluster! Driving south GWMP on Wed in right lane, a truck passed me on left, nearing to t-bone a left turning car here.
