[quote=Anonymous]Haven't read the entire thread, but the DC suburbs have a pretty good bike trail network.  I have no idea how this compares to NY, but I've lived in the DMV for ~ 20 years and have had plenty of places to ride without having to ride on the roads. (and out in the burbs there are also plenty of good road-riding routes, if that's more your thing.)

The W&OD runs through many of the NOVA suburbs (Arlington, Herndon, Reston, Ashburn, and Leesburg) and Silver Spring and Bethesda have easy access to the Capitol Crescent, rock Creek park trail/beach drive, and sligo creek trail.

From Bethesda or downtown Silver Spring, it's  a pretty easy 10 mile ride to get downtown DC and it's fun to do a ride, visit a museum, and then ride back home. (I guess that you could take the metro if you didn't want to do the 10 miles back home, but I always just rode back.)  In Nova, there are a lot of restaurants and breweries adjacent to the W&OD

Other good trails are the C&O canal trail - it connects to the Great Allegheny passage trail.  You can do a long weekend ride up and back to Harpers ferry, or a week+ ride to Pittsburgh.  Also the Mount Vernon Trail - also easy to bike over to National Harbor.
