What About Motorcycles?
I am disappointed that the website doesn't mention motorcycling as an option. I have a motorcycle that gets over 50 miles to a gallon, or about 200 miles to a 3.5 gallon tank. I often ride the cycle to work, creating a significantly smaller carbon footprint than any hybrid vehicle on the road. And, think of how little space this takes up on the road and in parking. If only Arlington encouraged/allowed for motorcycle parking like DC does, we would see room in the county open up significantly.
I also have lockable saddle bags on my bike and can drop off dry cleaning and even buy groceries, take out food, buy other items, and run other trips (like trips to Target, the gym, softball games and friend's house) on the cycle.
Why does the county discriminate against motorcycles? I have noticed the county, in addition to omitting anything about cycles on this site, does not have laws that protect the motorcyclist as other localities do.
