Where to ride bicycle - Page 2

If you feel like taking a little trip north, DC is just chock full of bike/pedestrian only trails. I was on one a few weeks ago, traveled from our hotel in Crystal City down past the airport and all the way into Old Town with minimal bike/car shared road getting out of the hotel area. About 13 miles round trip. There are trails all over the place.

Thank you. :)

Since you are in Calvert, you may want to check this out... I haven't been yet so I can't tell you how it is, but it is new.

Here's a link that has some photos from the Indian Head Rail Trail. It's a great place to ride. Be careful on the crossings.

This trail will take a couple of days, but heard it is well worth it. Friends did it this past summer, I would like to try it in 2013.
