As a healthy, environmentally friendly form of transportation, cycling reduces traffic congestion for everyone on the road network and should definitely be supported in this and other ways.

For those who don't know, the Bethesda Trolley trail is officially a bike trail that connects Twinbrook Metro to the Capital Crescent Trail. In reality the trail is pretty much just on paper from Twinbrook to near White Flint. But from White Flint to points south it is a high quality trail using the old trolley right of way, with dedicated bridges over the 270 spur and 495. It provides an off road bike route from Rockville to NIH Campus and on into Bethesda. The notion of connecting the path in front of RM over to the Bethesda Trolley trail is a powerful idea.
