BikeArlington

BikeArlington 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.

With a youth ride to BikeArlington’s Back to School Bike Fair and the DCCX race all happening this Saturday (Sept 10), we’re closing the shop for the day to cheer on our youth! We appreciate everyone’s understanding, and will be back to our normal hours this Tuesday.

Swing by the DCCX race this weekend to watch Team Phoenix ride, jump, and roll their way through their very first race of the cyclocross season.🚲🏁
We had a great time engaging with you, Arlington, at this weekend's Public Safety Block Party! The Block Party had it all from K9 and motorcycle demonstrations, emergency vehicle display (including a United States Park Police horse, U.S. Coast Guard boat and Fairfax County Police Department helicopter), Virginia State Police distracted driving course, HEAT Program VIN etching, ‘Behind the Badge’ experience, a KidZone presented by the Arlington County Parks and Recreation, BikeArlington bike rodeo, back-to-school haircuts by DMV Barber 98, informational tables, music, food and much more! Most importantly, we enjoyed spending time with the community and sharing the ways ACPD, Arlington County Fire Department, Arlington County VA Sheriff's Office and Ready Arlington personnel work to keep the community safe!

A sincere note of appreciation to all of our staff, volunteers and supporting businesses and organizations for making the return of the Public Safety Block Party a success!

I feared I'd arrive too late to BikeArlington's cleanup of W&OD trail, but after just 20 minutes I already had a full orange trash bag heavy with bottles, cans, and... a fire extinguisher.

The trick, my friends, is to simply walk along Doctors Run by George Mason Drive. It is so choked with trash I had enough for one very full bag within a 50 foot stretch.

It is one of the waterways most in need of a cleanup and restoration.
I get it with cycling, you are traveling with the wind in your face and reducing the carbon footprint on this great Earth of ours. When I was a kid, me and my Huffy would jump off of plywood ramps across creeks and brush paying homage to Evel Knievel but now I walk listening to podcasts or audible. The W&O trail has an underpass thru Carlin Springs that is under construction and signs are posted—Trail Narrows Dismount Bike I have yet to see a cyclist do the right thing and no one enforces it.

When I see a cyclist make a poor choice to run a stop sign or light, it does not bother me because I assume they have accounted for a three-ton truck and bike reconstructed from Rolling Rock Beer cans. My walks often have me analyzing and calculating the distance and speed of cyclist coming at a group of women and children and how the Lance Armstrong wannabees glide between the columns of senior citizens and nannies.

Someone at Arlington County made a risk-based decision to designate measly thirty yards along the trail for walkers to not be struck. Please stop, dismount and join us mortals for those seventy steps, you know the ones who made the concessions and allow for appropriations that allow you to move quickly through the People’s Republic of Arlington.
Want to learn about the diversity and interconnectivity of our communities and the native plants that grow within them while making your mark on a new community mural? Visit the Arlington Art Truck at the art-themed bike ride with BikeArlington which will begin and end at W & OD Trail and Columbia Pike on Thursday, July 14 – from 4 pm-8 pm for Edgar Reyes’ project, “Interconnected Roots”.

Join us for a beautiful art tour of Arlington! The ride will start and end at the Arlington Art Truck's pop-up along the W&OD Trail. Together we will ride to three new South Arlington public art displays before returning to the Art Truck to participate in Edgar Reyes’, Interconnected Roots. Contribute to a collaborative work of art that highlights the beauty of biodiversity and reflect on ways we can support efforts in creating an inclusive community. By painting colors that express your identity within a pattern inspired by traditional weaving patterns from his homeland of Mexico, artist Edgar Reyes leads participants on an exploration of what is native and non-native - not only in plant, bird, and insect species but also about his own journey as an American with Indigenous and European roots. This project helps participants to understand how being stewards of our local biodiversity is interconnected with supporting our communities. Our community partner for this project is Arlington County’s Urban Forestry and Natural Resources Management Offices along with Plant NOVA Natives.
