There are some more letterboxes in Northern VA that are on or very
near bike trails.

There is one near the East Falls Church Metro station along the bike
trail along I-66, can't remember the trail name. The box is "Ghost
Castle of East Falls Church".

When that trail turns into the W@OD trail it passes very near to Dunn
Loring Park in Vienna, VA that has a couple boxes.

There are other boxes in Vienna but I am not sure how close to the
trail they are. Except for for Clark's Crossing in Vienna which is
close to the trail and very bikable.

In Reston, along the W&OD, Furry Woodland Creature and Christmas Tree
Graveyards is doable by mountain bike from the W&OD.

I have some W&OD box planting plans that have been waiting for bike
weather.

If you include the Mall in DC as part of a bike trail all of the ones
on the mall are bikable to.
