ICYMI, we’ve heard now from several reliable sources that federal agencies may remove a substantial chunk of the 15th St NW protected bike lanes near the National Mall.

This is some BS.

Join us on Friday for a protest ride.

This is an afront to family biking across #BIkeDC!

Stay tuned for planned action.

And tell your friends outside of DC to call their Senators offices on Tuesday to alert them to this action that will hurt everyone that visits the National Mall

Hello! It's very icy out there. Don't drive or bike if you can avoid it. Roads are still icy, trails and bike lanes are in rough shape.

Also take it easy shoveling, this stuff is heavy!

Earlier today a driver killed a person crossing the street in downtown DC. Based on the wreckage, high speed was almost certainly involved.

The crash happens the same day Trump's Department of Transportation has begun an attempt to abolish speed cameras in DC.

Imagine if everything in 🟥 was a protected bike lane...

Biking on the Hill would be accessible for all ages and abilities!

This can be our reality if we fight for it. DDOT is taking comments on their strategic bike lane through 12/31.
