Hey all, I just started a new job that in 3 weeks will be located within one block of the Silver Spring Metro. I live in Woodbridge, and I am thinking about commuting by bike. Any info on parking in that immediate vicinity would be greatly appreciated. I am interested in both free motorcycle parking and the cheapest cage parking for those days when I need to drive. And, yes, I have left the MFI. It was fun, but I was offered a great opportunity as a Financial Manager for a Defense Center of Excellence. Great mission and people, and, well, it's what I do. Thanks!

Motorcycle Parking Map Thanks for doing this. There also are 12 spots on the west side of 11th St. NW, just south of H St. NW (across from the Grand Hyatt).
