There and Back Again

There and Back Again!

Trails in Fairfax County, Lee District

Fairfax County Trails and Sidewalks Committee

Hi!. I'm Bob Michie, and despite the title of this page, I am not a Hobbit. I just like to get around on a bicycle. When I'm not on a bike, I use Metro and busses. I'll also walk, and even (occasionally) drive a minivan.

The purpose of There and Back Again is to show others how to get around without using a car. I'll also be discussing my activities with the Fairfax County Sidewalks and Trails Committee. Come back often and see what I'm up to!
