The laws have changed since people went and wrote them up on the internet. It is now legal to bike on sidewalks anywhere in the District, so you're not forced to be near the cars. Most of the 14th Street area has bike lanes. I've only ridden here a couple of times, but my first time I asked some other lady on a bike about it, and she said that although they tell you to ride in the right 1/3 of the lane, it's better to take the whole lane. I read later that the "right 1/3" thing only applies to wide lanes, which are not common in the District and so taking the whole lane is the norm (otherwise cars may try to pass you, and that's bad...).

I live at the top of a hill. I haven't tried biking up it yet, just between here and other places also at the top of this hill.
