Bike Jams
The heat of August is gone and biking around DC is feasible again. After class today I rode to Alexandria, Virginia and back - about 20 miles. I stopped at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria for a study break. The Mt. Vernon bike path along the Potomac River is almost as crowded as the George Washington Parkway that it parallels. Bikers and pedestrians do some fancy maneuvering to avoid each other.
On the way back north I came across a serious bike accident on the pathway. Three emergency vehicles were there and one biker was on a guerney. Blood was all over the path. Looked like two bikers collided with each other. The way some of the macho-driven bikers tear down the paved pathway they must think they are doing the Tour d'France.
