Why are people riding so fast on Beach drive?
Took my kid there to practice riding because no cars and could not believe the number of cyclists treating it like the autobahn. Routinely saw people going probably 40 mph and was terrified one was going to crash into my child who is still figuring things out. WTF? Do people think that because it’s closed to cars, there’s no speed limits either?

Custis Trail has been repaved!
I was expecting some patching and milling here and there, but they just went ahead and repaved it. Great job all round. Plus no more washboard!

Ofo lives!
Ofo was one of a few OG dockless bikeshare companies that were part of the 2017 DDOT pilot where you could unlock a bike for as little as $1.
The pilot ended abruptly in 2018, but it represented the first entry of dockless bikeshare in the US.
Ofo sold off its fleet in DC which is why you still see them around, but still very rare
Fun fact: ofo chose its name because the name looks like someone riding a bike.
Does anyone else have memories of acoustic dockless bikeshare in DC?

Good loops around nova
Anyone have any recs for good loops for triathlon training? Tired of the W&OD at this point haha. Doesn’t have to be bike/pedestrian only

March 24 bicycle accident at H & 8th NE - seeking witnesses or camera advice
I was involved in a bike‑on‑bike hit & run at the intersection of 8th St NE and H St NE on Tuesday, March 24, around 6:41 PM. I’ve already filed an injured person report with MPD, and Lime is willing to cooperate with police if needed. I was riding a grey CaBi westbound on H St.
My memory of the collision is unfortunately fuzzy, and I haven’t been able to get video footage from DDOT or nearby businesses. If anyone witnessed the incident or has any information, I’d really appreciate anything you can share (DM preferred). Even if you’d rather not go on record, any details would help me understand what happened.
