Biking has become a major part of my commute… mainly because I hate taking the metro with all the aggressive, angry, pushy, rush hour subway commuters. Now, biking in DC has just gotten easier.
According to TBD.com and as reported by WashCycle reports the Bicycle Advisory Council met with the D.C. Department of Transportation and a list of new bike lanes may be coming our way this spring. Based on WashCycle’s listing, the below map shows where these new lanes will be.
