    We love this book! Chris Balish provides readers with practical, every-day tips on how to go car-lite or even car-free. We wish we'd written this book ourselves, but it somehow rings much more true coming from this self-described "mainstream" guy. NOW AVAILABLE in a Special Arlington, VA Edition! (*****)

Groundbreaking Event on Saturday

4mr_groundbreaking_3 It's been years in the making and now there will be a groundbreaking event to kick-off the construction of a trail connecting the popular Washington & Old Dominion and Four Mile Run Trails. 

Join Congressman Jim Moran, Arlington County, and the City of Alexandria to celebrate the beginning of construction of this multi-use trail link. The new path will offer a safer and more direct route for walkers, runners, and cyclists under Shirley Highway (I-395) and along scenic Four Mile Run. The League of American Bicyclists will also present Arlington with the Silver Level Bicycle Friendly Community Award for efforts to promote and encourage cycling throughout our community. Arlington is only the second community on the eastern seaboard to be Silver.

The groundbreaking event will be this Saturday (October 20), 10am, at the Four Mile Run Trail Construction Office (outdoors) at 27th Road South and South Four Mile Run Drive in Arlington.

Paul DeMaio, BikeArlington
