Washcycle’s got a great idea:
But biking into the city is just not something everyone will do. Many people lack the experience to know how to go. Others lack the confidence to deal with the traffic.
What if bike-only routes were established? This would allow people to find a way (by following the route) that doesn’t scare them. There are many people who are confident enough to ride in BikeDC, but not confident enough to ride the 50 States Ride or even on Bike to Work Day.
I’d certainly pitch in. C’mon, WABA, get Fenty to move on this.

Can I ride my bike into DC on the day of the Inauguration? What about all the closed bridges? Will they be closed to bike riders?

Yes, Kevin, it appears you can. You might have to walk your bike, though (I imagine there will be tons of people walking across the bridges, making riding a little hard). I’ll be posting here about things as they become clearer, but Washcycle (http://washcycle.typepad.com/) is probably the best source.
