For the second time in less than a week, a person was struck and injured at an intersection along Wilson Blvd in Bluemont.

Falls Church covers just 2.1 square miles, but some local cyclists are about to ride 56 miles without leaving the city limits.

A new analysis calls for a more concentrated approach to upgrading Arlington’s bicycling facilities.

A potential partnership between an Arlington bicycle race and one of the world’s largest cycling event organizers received a shoutout during weekend coverage of the Tour de France.

Cycling pros and enthusiasts will be hitting the streets of Arlington this weekend for the return of the Amazon Armed Forces Cycling Classic.

An advisory panel says the proposed pedestrian/bicycle bridge connecting Crystal City to Reagan National Airport falls short of optimal accessibility standards.
The current plan for an elevator and staircase at the Crystal City side of the crossing “is absolutely not sufficient,” said Pamela Van Hine, recording secretary of the Pedestrian Advisory Committee (PAC).
Plans to cover only a portion of a quarter-mile pedestrian bridge between Crystal City and Reagan National Airport are raising concerns among some local residents.
Officials from Arlington’s Department of Environmental Services have proposed to cover the CC2DCA multimodal connection on the western portion as it passes above rail lines, then on the eastern portion as it approaches the airport. For aesthetic reasons, however, the current plan is to leave the bridge open to the sky as it passes over GW Parkway.
