Heading to the Mall? Take Your Bike
http://blacknell.net/dynamic/2008/07/03/heading-to-the-mall-...If you need help finding a path, Bike Washington has an excellent map of commuting trails (if you’re coming from VA, I’d suggest using the Roosevelt or 14th St. bridges - Memorial will be overrun with people).

Pillage Idiot
http://pillageidiot.blogspot.com4. Bikers are generally well behaved on shared trails, but we tend to be blamed for everyone else's idiocy. The county has recently posted 15 MPH speed limits on the Capital Crescent Trail, which is just insane. When I ride the trail -- going toward Georgetown, anyway -- I'm running 16 to 21 MPH, and I'm being passed by the serious bikers. So why do I say a speed limit of 15 MPH is insane?
