Washington, D.C.

Lucky number 13 on the Top 50 Bike Friendly Cities list is Washington, D.C.

The Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA) is a very active and well known across D.C. and the surrounding areas. They have many events year round, have bike education classes, and are active in the development and expansion of bike ways.

The website is awesome, I suggest you check it out. It is a great inspiration for anyone wanting to get ideas on how to expand their area's bike program.

Friday morning I hit the road and headed back to Wilmington, NC. It got up to 75 degrees this weekend, it was perfect bike riding weather.

I took out my beach cruiser and rode to Wrightsville Beach. Wilmington is trying to be more bike friendly. They have recently added large trails around the area that leads up to Wrightsville Beach. This made it much easier to get onto the beach.

Wrightsville has a loop around the center of the island, that is great to ride around and also for running. It was such a nice time, it makes me miss living on Wrightsville Beach and biking everyday.
