Metro closed; No problem for bike commuters

W&OD Trail in Vienna on Bike to Work Day

The only problem bike commuters might have today is the chance of rain this afternoon and trails that are possibly more crowded than usual. There may also be more frustrated drivers than usual with Metro closed and many more people driving.

As I watched the morning news to see the effects of the Metro closure it occurred to me that local news programs should regularly show traffic on the Custis, W&OD, and Mt Vernon Trails in Virginia to let people know what conditions are like and show non-bike commuters that there really is another way to get around this area. Try not to be too smug as you pass all those frustrated drivers today.
