We hope to have a summary report of Bike to Work Day activities around the county. Some of the Reston schools postponed their Wednesday event due to the weather forecast and their event was held today. We saw this sign near Terraset Elementary School in Reston warning motorist about the event. We checked out the bike racks at Terraset were impressed to see 92 bikes.
