Yes, I'm only 6 ft tall on a 58 cm frame, but it would scarily close if I were to ride upright down the center line where their center lumber piece sits pointing endwise. A taller person could easily...

At the new Glebe Road Bridge, note also that westbound they got the ADA ramp a bit wrong and you could easily flat if you weren't careful. It's not as bad as the East Basin Drive ramp in DC.

First ride through there last night. Amazing the difference, although strange to not have to pick a MTB line on skinny 25s. Thank you!

Great news. Let us use our new right responsibly.

I stopped to let a pedestrian proceed in a crosswalk on Virginia Avenue the other day, and he seemed flabbergasted, saying something about...

So, the gate at the 41st St S turn had been lumberjacked open on Sunday--thanks, I was prepared to do so myself. Coming back up, a guy in front of me tried the S turn anyway and fell over on the...

Someone had posted about the 41st St S-turn having water lines going over it--sorry, can't find it now. Before, the gate had been opened so you could just ride straight up the hill, but someone has...

Was caught by surprise with this while running on Sunday. Note that if you're the kind of person who does this kind of thing, it's easy enough to get around on foot. In fact, people were fishing from...

Riding back from my run Saturday, chatted briefly with a chap using this bench/wall. He wasn't resting though; he was waiting for his wife to pick him up after breaking his derailleur hanger. They...

Oh, that's the place with the beehives I believe. So cool.

I usually rest by doing the little half-mile loop (Randolph/Richmond) before going on to Glebe or Military, but that place is so cool,...

Welcome back (though we've never met, I remember your posts).

And someone please give this man a better title than "Very Senior Member." "Venerated Cast-Iron Stalwart Senior Member" at the least.

This is what annoys me. If we're not going to clear our walkways, fine (although if private citizens have to do it, why don't governments?), but it really is ridiculous to plow the snow onto the...

I use a Garmin Instinct Solar watch as backup to my phone and sync it to Strava when needed/wanted (deleting otherwise). It usually states more elevation than Strava on the phone. No idea which is...

This one kinda hits home a bit. I go through that intersection every now and then, but go right, turn right again on OD, and take the first right into the neighborhood. I don't proceed if there are...

"Eh, I've only hiked the PHT bits below Chain Bridge, how is it upstream of that? (Not sure I want those paved, either, they're fun in an urban scrambling way)."

The PHT above Chain Bridge goes...

It's the topography! No one can ride a bike where there be hills or bumps. /s

I bought panniers and was going to try them, but the rack is only on one bike, and I only use that bike when it snows. Can't (won't) put a rack and panniers on my road bike, which is what I normally...

I'm sitting it out this year so that I can engage in other outdoor activities I love without feeling like I'm letting team members down, but I'll say hey when I see the ankle bands around.

I wouldn't call it a war. Just different ways of doing things, and if we talk about it long enough, being cyclists, there'll be a ... skirmish.

I carry the laptop in a Banjo Brothers waterproof backpack. Carefully situated there among all the clothes, it's cushioned enough unless I get run over.

Anyone have any info on the car that went up the Custis below the S-turn and took out a lightpost? The car clearly came down the I-66 ramp, hopped the median, went through the Lyon Village rear...

The trail is fine for toodling along, but it would in most cases not be safe for a cyclist (and especially a group of cyclists) engaged in a training ride to ride on it.

I'm not that fast, but...

I feel this deserves more likes, but perhaps BA readers are not of that period.

I have never owned one of their records, but that song does come into my head often in MTB or gravel situations...

Correct, of course--I was being a bit facetious.

Then you'd have a mountain bike.

I do find the 33s a bit squirrely in loose gravel, such as the brief downhill on the towpath just south of the beltway. I generally find that if I hold on loosely...
