When the first diamond frame bicycles became popular in the 1890s they were often called "wheels" - the national cycling association was called the "League of American Wheelmen." We have moved from "wheels" to "bikes," but the bicycles have remained remarkably the same over more than 100 years - elegant in their efficiency and simplicity. And many of the issues that we think are new? They were around then too.

Closing Four Mile Run I-395 Underpass
Approaching underpass to I-395 from Shirlington side, Friday commute
After considerable amounts of rain overnight, Four Mile Run apparently flooded the bike path underpass for I-395. By the time that I arrived on my commute, around 7 am, I think the flooding was already gone but I chose not to investigate and rode around (the old way, over 395 on the pedestrian bridge and down Martha Custis).
In the evening the barriers had not been "officially" removed but someone had pushed them aside.
