I have a nephew coming to DC to stay with us over the summer in Spring Valley and intern at Capitol One headquarters in Tysons. He wants to rent a moped to make that commute. Sounds crazy to me, but I wondered if anyone had an opinion? Would you advise a 20 year old to do this?

No way! That’s insane. Dealing with:
Crazy drivers High heat and humidity Beltway traffic Rain/thunderstorms Potholes Moped breaking down Etc… |

| Obviously no to the moped but that a rough commute via metro. |

| he'd have to shower when he gets there and also he might die |

| Maybe it would make sense to moped down Mass Ave to Foggy Bottom and pick up the metro? Probably just a bus would be easier. And he'll definitely get so sweaty. |

| Not sure a moped could even keep up with traffic on Beltway? Not at all safe or protected in an accident. With so many drivers distracted and on cell phones, not worth it imo. |

I wouldn’t even use the beltway for that trip. Just go down Arizona to canal road, over chain bridge, and up 123 to the building. No beltway needed. But also a lot of traffic on 123, some it moving fast. |

Mopeds are not allowed on the Beltway. |
