It's very unsafe and I won't be riding it again. I've been hearing about the W&OD bike trail which I intend to try out this coming weekend, but it requires a 3/4 hour drive. Are the bike paths OK where you live
?
How about the Mt. Vernon Trail? I haven't done it in 15 yrs but it was always a nice paved, scenic trail on the VA side, bordering the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial to Mt. Vernon. It's 16 miles one way.
