Cyclist take WARNING! There appears to be a serious homeless problem around Mile Zero. My Niece just finished cycling the towpath last Monday. She was accosted by a homeless person who threatened her. Fortunately, she was able to get away uninjured. There was no visible National Park or Metro DC Police presence in the area. If any other cyclist encounters the same around Mile Zero, please add your comments to this thread. It's sad that things have deteriorated to this level. There was once a time when you could hike/cycle the towpath in relative safety without fear of bodily harm, especially in Georgetown of all places!
