Interview with FABB chairman

I was interviewed recently by Kate Ryan of WTOP News. Kate was at the Reston Town Center covering the two rides that were held there on Thanksgiving morning. We discussed bicycling in Reston and Tysons and the bicycle master plan. Note the sign in the background that states No Bicycling along with No Roller Skating, Soliciting, Trespassing or Loitering. Initially I thought the sign referred to activities banned on the sidewalk but lumping it in with Trespassing, Loitering, and Soliciting doesn't make sense. I'll check on it. Here's a link to the interview:

Kate writes the bike blog Lane Change. According to Kate, she is "a DC-based reporter shifting from the driver's seat to the bike lane. And you can come along for the ride."

Tour de Cure on Sunday

The annual Tour de Cure rides will be held on Sunday starting at the Reston Town Center. Sponsored by the American Diabetes Association, there are several ride options: 12, 17, 20, 33, 63, and 100 miles. "Each ride is fully supported with route marshals, SAG vehicles, mechanical support, and rest stops to fuel your journey. Morning check-in on June 5th is still an option and our volunteers are happy to assist you. Route cue sheets will be provided. Please arrive at the time that corresponds with your route." See the Reston Tour de Cure site for details.
