@natvarusa @AlexandriaVAPD This is just around the corner from our shop. Second head on crash at the same location in as many months. This one looked like it involved a police cruiser (unknown if coincidental or was a result of police activity). Glad all occupants have been ok. Duke St needs a diet.

ALERT: As part of the investigation into the Blue Line derailment, Metro is holding out of service all of its 7000-series railcars, which is about 60% of its rail fleet. Without these rail cars, Metro will operate about 40 trains tomorrow. 1/2

@vecchitto @richmintz Sadly there are no consequences. Which is why the problem is so bad to begin with

@COcanalNPS @CanalTrust I'm going to assume I am just SO INFLUENTIAL that the service truck showing up an hour after my last tweet was because of said tweet.. probably not, but either way -- thank you!!

[Handy Bikes @HandyBikesDC]

@COcanalNPS @CanalTrust Another update from the towpath - portajohn at Cumberland Valley h/b site not serviced since July per service chart inside - and its contents confirm that. Will spare you pictures. I'm sure there's a better way to report than social media but idk how?

[Handy Bikes @HandyBikesDC]

It was arduous given heavy loaded bike in afternoon sun, and there was no water at the next THREE campsites north after the detour. Ran out while pushing bike up narrow roads on detour; glad I had my emergency filter bc I had to give up and drink Potomac water. Please fix. /x

[Handy Bikes @HandyBikesDC]

@NatlParkService please update the @COcanalNPS water listing- Opequon Junction H/B campsite is off, contrary to your list. Unpleasant surprise after unexpected steep terrain and hilly roads w/ fully loaded bike + dog trailer at McMahon Mill. 1/

[Handy Bikes @HandyBikesDC]

For $18 million I think they could have a ferry barge or at least keep grades less than 10%. Those on recumbent, adaptive, or fully loaded bicycles will struggle, be stranded, injured, or worse. Description of detour made it sound like no big deal. 2/

@FedExHelp We're a busy bike shop waiting on several packages, but your tracking system appears to be down the past few days. Some items were supposed to come yesterday. Any idea when tracking will return?

[Handy Bikes @HandyBikesDC]

@AmtrakAlerts App has been updated - thank you.

[Handy Bikes @HandyBikesDC]

@AmtrakAlerts Your app says Zephyr #6 will arrive SLC at 0245, 20 minutes early, but your tweet indicates it's running late. Which is accurate?
