BikeArlington
BikeArlington’s goal is to get more Arlingtonians biking more often, whether they’re commuting, shopping, or just having fun.
Arlington, Virginia is a great place to get around by bike. More than 100 miles of multi-use trails, on-street bike lanes, and designated bike routes make it easy for cyclists to get where they need to go. BikeArlington is a combined effort of many – from moms and dads advocating for safe routes to schools, to County staff building safer streets, trails, and intersections, to business owners, urban designers, park planners and event planners working to create places and events that welcome cyclists.
