Faces of Fairfax: Ben Grimes
 |
| Ben Grimes |
Alexandria native Ben Grimes spoke to FABB at a BTWD 2018 pit stop after dodging raindrops during his commute to work in the District. In addition to commuting, Ben rides for fun and exercise. Fresh air is the great attraction for Ben when he is out on his bike. In response to our question about what the county could do to make bicycling better, Ben said he would like to see more protected bike lanes.
We have some good news for Ben and others who bike in and around Alexandria and the Mount Vernon District. As part of this summer’s repaving and restriping program the Virginia and Fairfax County Departments of Transportation are planning to add buffered bike lanes on Hooes, Pohick, Telegraph, Armistead, and Frye Roads. This should make riding in these areas safer and more comfortable for bicyclists and motorists.
