the bike commute home along 15th then along tidal basin up to the 14th St bridge was an experience. Peds not looking at the bike traffic when crossing 15th against the light at the GW monument. Queues of rentabikes and crit racers filling the bike lanes and the road up past the little bridge over the exit road by the basin. Cars piled up behind the Jefferson memorial. full side walks. And this is at 6:30 at night.
For those of you thinking about parking in the Crystal City/ Pentagon city area, don't forget that the yellow line bridge is out so you will be routed around DC. That's an extra 15 minutes. Think about parking over at Arlington Cemetery and walking across the Memorial. Another place maybe to try is the Marina by the Pentagon and walking across the 14th St bridge.
