Also I've never seen a rat in their produce section, something I can't say for the Safeway.DSKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01061677672989458206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655972254756722998.post-28782122336637565222011-10-27T10:25:26.083-04:002011-10-27T10:25:26.083-04:00The lack of bike racks at my destinations is reall...The lack of bike racks at my destinations is really getting to be an issue. If all the parking signs are taken up, the only option is sometimes the public trash receptacles.ultrarunnergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509015436909032553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655972254756722998.post-2347968542757947552011-10-26T20:25:19.586-04:002011-10-26T20:25:19.586-04:00The Mass.

Inspired by your posts, and driven away by the street closings around Verizon Center for the horse show, I've tried it on commutes the past week. It does avoid "the Hill," but is super bumpy in front of Union Station. It almost seems like gigantic frost heaves, but that's kind of a northern thing, not so much DC right? I do like it better on the way home (east), since westbound you have to cross like 4 ill-defined lanes of traffic to make the left onto E.<br /><br />But, there's something kind of awesome about looking at the U.S. Capitol Building every day, on your commute.<br /><br />Agreed on the suckiness of bike parking at the Safeway at 14th and D. I tied up there tonight, and most bikes forgo the "wheelbender" rack altogether and use the ADA ramp-railing-thingy.JDAntoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355688379118505208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655972254756722998.post-66692125475614050542011-10-26T20:04:21.351-04:002011-10-26T20:04:21.351-04:00Arlington bike parking - totally a function of the...Arlington bike parking - totally a function of the retailer and location. Around Clarendon, where the development has been county-driven/planned, there are small bike racks here and there and a larger one at Whole Foods like you might expect. At a Safeway/Giant/HT, maybe, but you're probably hoping they have a cart penitentary (rail in front of the store) that you can use! <br /><br />Thoroughly enjoying your blog, which I discovered through @swimbikerunDC.
