Through falls church into arlington, the ride is quiet and picturesque. Maybe too much. Heres a first tip. Dont take your eye off the trail youre supposed to be on. First mishap. Pay attention to the trail sign. I ended up on the fourmile run trail. Not the right trail. Back on the right trail, the trail through rosalyn meeting fellow bikers along the way.

What do you think is the best thing for drivers to keep in mind . Because sometimes, you know, drivers get frustrated with bikers. What do we need to remember . I think you should remember that bikers have the right to be on the road. They should be riding to the right but not so far as theyre in the zone where they can get hurt if somebody opens a door in their path. Tomorrow will be a lot of inexperienced bicyclists on the road. So some people who may be more wobbly. Good idea to give them a little bit of that would be good idea. What is the area doing to enforce pedestrian and bike laws and reduce aggressive driving and make people more aware of bikers rights to the road . Well, we have the regional street smart Pedestrian Bicycle Safety Program which is primarily directed at motorists, pedestrians to a lesser degree to bicyclists just because of the numbers. There are more pedestrians being hurt. But the message is to be aware and respect the rights of others to yield to pedestrians, for bicyclists to obey signs and signals, which they are obliged to do. And we also have an enforcement aspect. This is something that various Police Departments are carrying out throughout the region. They go out and write tickets to motorists, to pedestrians, to bicyclists not as much. A little bit harder to ticket. But the district is stepping that up to try to bicyclists do stop for red lights, which theyre obliged to do. Talk about the pit stops for tomorrow real quickly. Where are they going to be . Really, all over the region. Theres going to be 85, i think even 86 pit stops scattered around the region. Theres going to be a lot of them in the center, in the district.

In an era when asking a date to the prom can be extravagant to say the least, at this the timehonored approach. Its like being a part of one of the greatest traditions, i think, in probably all of high school. Because for more than 90 years in freeport, illinois, the young men and women have held a prom draw where each boy picks a girls name out of a raffle drawn. Hailey lenz. It began in the 1920s when many students were poor and came from a nearby orphanage. So the nuns wanted to make sure those children had the opportunity to experience a wonderful night. Since then the kids have always voted to keep the tradition alive. Its definitely something that youll never forget. After picking a name, the boys will perform a skit to reveal who their date will be. Will you go to prom with me . The best part, no one says no. Its hard to explain the excitement in the room. Literally everybody this couple were prom dates in the 730s and remain friends. It was difficult worrying about asking girls out. I might not have gone to prom but for the fact there was a drawing. On this years big night, the tuc tuxes and gowns are perfect and so is the company. We grew up together basically. To be able to do this with your friends it really brings you closer together. Here everyone is a king and queen. Kevin tibbles, nbc news, freeport, illinois. Thats cute. Love, love, love that. Cant say enough about that story. Always love the Kevin Tibbles stories.
