EDIT [Just after posting this, I saw the U-Street update and news. I really had no intention of being insensitive to that sad news. Admins/Mods please feel free to delete this post.]

Now that the route to Pittsburgh is essentially complete, it goes on my list of rides to do.

If I can find a weekend later this summer or, more likely, in the early Fall - I'd like to do the ride...

Will the Taqueria serve beer?

Don't laugh.

I like the idea of adding an address field to the survey (optional of course) - the only difficulty (as it is with managing metadata) is getting consistent address entry.

If I had more GIS...

The IP lookup info for that address is all over the place - some lookups return an IP in the Russian Fed., registered through Amsterdam and others show it registered to some guy in Tomteboda, Sweden....

Odd, not sure why the link didn't work - I checked in different browsers and different computers and it came up alright...

The survey is great, but what I'm looking for is a way to identify (on a...

I'd like to revive this thread. While at a meeting in an office in Crystal City yesterday, I wondered what it would be like to work there as far as bike facilities go. I saw tons of riders coming...

A couple other options - also near the water treatment plant:

Also here on Potomac Ave - but NOT really advisable because of steep rocky...

My morning commute involved two different cycling shoes. At the same time.

EDIT: Not sure why this reply didn't reply to dasgeh's post - anyways:
Good point - Quincy makes plenty of sense too. Me? I like going up and down the hills.

First page? I don't get pages of Google Image search results anymore...just a continuous flow of thumbnails...none of which have anything to do with Mother Theresa - although if it's Diego Maradona...

Info here, for Pugsley owners.

Pretty sure Dirt is rolling on a modified Troll and I'm on a Walgoose...

Depending on where you are on the W&OD, another option is to get onto the Custis and then do Spout Run --> Lorcom-->Military Road-->Glebe-->Chain Bridge (you can take 41st if Glebe isn't your cup of...

So I heard you like wooden bicycles

One last shot - swooped this from Pete's Flickr set. Me in my happy place before suffering through two tough climbs. ...

He..he..he... if you turn it upside down, the elevation profile on my Garmin calculator spells BOOBS...

If you look real close you can see the elusive Dirt, aero-ing his way along the gravel road:

Dirt and Sean were just riding along when all of the sudden: AERO

I do recall that there are also green arrows/markings on the W&OD pointing to green colored pipes - those are for natural gas pipeline access. The ones you've photographed are probably sewage vents...

Wow. Tough questions.

I don't know if that record store in Adam's Morgan (on 18th almost at Columbia) is still there or not. (A couple doors up from Asylym and down from the McDs)
Plenty of good...

Sure. I understand the fundamentals of the auctioning program - although there is some bit of irony in the fact that the better they do their job (very broadly speaking), the less revenue they should...

Couldn't find anything on the MPD website either...but I did see the link to the online auctions (via Govdeals). Look, you can pick up a used POLICE-ISSUE full suspension MTB. *with the official...

I'm conflicted about this.

There are one or two decent bikes in the lot....but buying somebody's stolen bike... Kind of leaves a gritty sour taste in the mouth. I think a donation to something...

Yup. Just saw Strava entry. Nicely done.
