BikeArlington is an initiative of Arlington County Commuter Services with the purpose of encouraging and enabling more people to bike more often.
BikeArlington is a combined effort of many – from moms and dads advocating for safe routes to schools, to County staff building safer streets, trails, and intersections, to business owners, urban designers, park planners and event planners working to create places and events that welcome cyclists. There is a role for you, too, in helping to create a more bikeable Arlington-even if it is simply getting out and seeing the community on a bike more often.
Operating as usual

Despite a 4% 📈 increase in bike lane and multi-use trail ridership, injury crashes involving vehicles 📉 decreased by 28% in Arlington from March-December of 2020. https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/shift-to-off-road-trails-made-bicycling-safer-during-covid-19-pandemic
Injury crash rates for bicyclists fell sharply in one Washington, D.C., suburb, last year as more riders took to the trails instead of unprotected bike lanes.
