Arlington/Alexandria Community Ride

[Boyd Walker]

I really enjoyed the bike ride and it was great to be able to participate as 
a Marshall.  I was surprised to not hear of any accidents or other incidents 
and feel that must be a testatament to bicyclists.  No one seemed bothered 
by the rain, and it just added a element that showed how dedicated 
bicyclists are.  I was able to report at a forum last night, in response to 
another Alexandria City Council candidate assertion that there were not, 
that indeed there were safe, convenient routes to ride.  It was great for 
Arlington and Alexandria to work together, and even though Alexandria has a 
lot of catchig up to do, hopefully this cooperation becomes an annual 
tradition and spreads to other endeavors.  The highlight for me was being 
able to pass my house in Old Town and ride back from there with Jay 
Fissette, who I understand was intrumental in getting the communnity bike 
ride started.  Thank you so much for putting this together, it was a great 
turnout and I llok forward to next year.
