Is cycling about the city safe with hopefully top notch cycling infrastructure.
Where's everyone's favorite bike trails about the Metro area. ?
Unfortunately, DC actually doesn't have much top notch bike infrastructure. The Metro Branch Trail is great, and there's a lot of bike lanes downtown. But outside that there's very few bike lanes and not even many shared lanes, bikers and pedestrians are kinda left on their own with only the buses and trains to turn to (and right now they're seriously ****) outside that. I suggest being very careful biking around here since the drivers are some of the worst in the country. I'll upload a bike map of the city/surrounding areas to give you a better idea
