Tips for Your Car Free DietBiking Bicycling is one of the best ways to enjoy your surroundings, the upcoming warmer weather and stay committed to the Car Free Diet. Arlington County offers over 46 miles of bike trails and designated bike lanes as well as beautiful neighborhoods and scenery, plus, the majority of trails lead to surrounding counties.
Biking is an inexpensive, healthy and most importantly, FUN way to get to work. Biking to work to Arlington is also convenient because most buildings have bike racks and storage facilities already in place. Not only do you help the environment, but you are saving money and improving your health! You can even take your bike on Metrorail weekdays (from 10am to 4pm and any time after 7pm) and all day on weekends and Metrobuses and ART buses any time of day. If you are interested in biking to work but need a little assistance and more information, check out www.bikearlington.com. BikeArlington can even set up a mentor program through other organizations in the region. The mentors will help map out your route to work and ride with you the first time to make sure you are comfortable. Get started now!
