Last week was a busy week for us at BikeArlington headquarters. Co-sponsoring a movie night with the Arlington Bicycle Advisory Committee, riding Capital Bikeshare bikes in the Clarendon Alliance St. Patrick's/Mardi Gras parade and attending the National Bike Summit made for a hectic couple of days!
See below for pictures from the week with some explanatory links:
