50 Most Bike Friendly Cities - #30 Arlington VA

Frankly I would have expected Arlington to score higher. Not sure why it doesnt score higher than Wash DC. See 50 Most Bike Friendly Cities. Certainly a huge number of the folk biking into DC bike from Arlington. But maybe it as simple as that - the number of bikers as a raw number is bigger in WDC than in Arlington.

When I moved to Arlington 20 years ago, the W&OD and the Curtis Trails were primary features. Back then I commuted regularly by bike. Now I bike commute at least once a week. In those 20 years, the number of bike commuters has grown and grown. Arlington is a great bike community to live in (oh, and for fun, circumnavigate Arlington on bike: Curtis Trail, to GW Parkway Trail, to W&OD trail - with necessary break in Shirlington for refreshments!!)
