Hmm, I'm not sure exactly who was living there. I thought it was a guy I frequently saw on the bench on the other side of the path, likely Hispanic, late 40s maybe, pony tail. He never showed me...

This is definitely Falls Church City, it is not Fairfax Country or Arlington County. There is a part of Fairfax County called Falls Church and then an independent city, Falls Church City (FCC). FCC...

Now my current commute is 11 miles one way. I don't do it every day. However, I am considering a job where the office is so close to my current home that the only way I would ever commute there...

I have a 7 speed Shimano Nexus and love it, shifts easily even when stopped. I do find that it seems a bit less efficient than my other bike with a derailleur.

if it changes your mind, the price has been dropped to $120/year. It had been $70 for a long time but was raised to $200 which caused a lot of grief so it was lowered to $120. I just got my annual...

After this morning when my fingers and toes alternated getting really cold, I contemplated bailing and riding Metro home. However, I stuck with it and biked home. Even though it was only a few...

It was pretty bad this morning, only saw a few riders. I remember biking a few years ago when it was near 17F, think this morning the weather report said 22F. At various times, two fingers on my...

This is a pretty good video about bike riding in the snow in Vienna, Austria. They got a lot of snow there recently, comments on the video are eerily like the ones you would expect here with a few...

It took me several years to realize this (having little kids greatly accelerates the process) but it is ALWAYS, ALWAYS harder to deal with a difficult, stressful situation the way you have in a...

I read the WP article and some others before it. Remember when McDonell was running for governor and his plan, in part, was to privatize the VA ABC and use the proceeds on roads. I was very...

I work in a Federal building across from the EPA. At some point, I think all of us that work in these buildings right next to each other need to compare facilities and get a sense of what works and...

Had to doublecheck, you mean Herbert Hoover (not J Edgar Hoover which is the FBI). I think that is the Dept of Commerce as mentioned in previous post. I would be very surprised if they did not have...

With my two tail lights, two handlebar lights, nite-ize on my front tire, and both rear and front facing "be seen" lights on my helmet, plus the other reflective items on my bike I'm already like a...

You are like me, I ride in Adidas Sambas with toe clips and also use thick wool socks. The best thing for my toes are toe covers, can easily ride with them into the 20s and they stay on quite well...

I do not recall entirely it was in early 2012 that I got it done, believe it was something to do with any or all of these: 1) bike geometry 2) availability 3) getting some small accompanying part to...

I got a 7spd internal hub for my 3spd bike this year, MAJOR improvement, 7 or 8 is highly recommended.

I would settle for:

1) widen and repave MVT from Rosslyn to Reagan National Airport.
2)...

I always try and avoid sidewalks on my bike. There is a very small (1/2 block stretch) near my work where it is unavoidable but very rarely dog walkers since it is a commercial area. I have a...

Given my family and work situation, the only riding I do is commuting and my commute is only 22 miles roundtrip. The last 4 years I've got around 2000 miles a year give or take 200 miles. It kind...

Until recently I always operated under the assumption that "be seen" lights (e.g., the Bike Arlington blinkies) were supposed to be white for front facing lights and red for rear facing lights. In a...

Yeah, just read the third paragraph of the lyrics to "Stop Me"

Hey Guys, thanks for the answer, sounds like the run time is about what I can expect with my other AAA LED blinkies, pretty darn long. Fortunately I already have some CR 2032s at home for a totally...

Kudos to Bike Arlington for passing these out recently. Even though I already had blinkies on my bike itself, I found a nice home for this on the rear of my helmet where it is easy to turn off and...

No, I am just in amazed that somebody could get 5000 or more miles a year. I seem tired enough doing not even half of that.

You all have some longish commutes or else get in a lot of rec rides to rack up so many miles. I have a wife, two young kids, an old house and I am the main chef, gardener, and handyman so if it was...

nothing requires a 75 or 100 year term
