Based on my experience, you have to go into these kind of conversations with a VERY even tone and avoid any sort of escalation. Even the hottest hotheads will respond to reason, that or you'll get a...

I notice the gesturing as well on a couple of occasions. Then again, other times he would tip his hat at random women, so who knows what he was up to. Also, if it is public property and some dude has...
Nevermind how long ago - but some years ago - some people called me Ishmael.
Me and the Captain are going to make it happen, BLINKERS FOR EVERYONE!
Whelp, time to start using my hybrid, trail-street route, the crowds make me nervous.
I'm not one to snitch, but the new signs that just went up at the Lee Highway/W&OD crossing are the definition of a bad joke. I haven't seen a single person wait for the "walk sign" before...
Might have been the same girl riding on the FRICKING SIDEWALK in Falls Church. Darwin needs to get moving on whoever this is.
I investigated this recently and the gym there is fricking amazing, just amazing. You have to be GS, and on a special list, but if you can get in, do it. As for parking, plenty to be had in the...
You: Jogging GW lady with the earbuds on.
Me: Guy trying to get to work who you apologized to profusely having confused me for a long-forgotten childhood heirloom, Justin Beibert, or a large sack...
You: Sunshine in a fricking bottle. On a red/black road bike, with matching red/black clothes, by Roosevelt Island this AM around 7:40am.
Me: Dude on black bike who looked like he rummaged...
Weirdly enough, that assault happened in the exact same spot where my buddy was jumped about 15 years ago. I've had people gander at me a couple of times with that menacing "moving money bag" look,...
Geez - it is always the Town Cars. I was walking by the White House yesterday, during your traditional rolling of eggs, and a Town Car drove through the crosswalk...almost taking out a double...
I average maybe 3-4 a year, but they always seem to be:
- When it is raining. I was standing on Memorial Bridge during a thunderstorm once, desperately trying to change a flat.
- By the Lincoln...
Adamo is the way to go. Not too goofy looking, and connects with your bones rather than that pink stuff surrounding your bones.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the wind covers up my singing of the HMS Pinafore, this is unacceptable.
Not to introduce too much chaos - but 5) tourists.
Me: Dude soaked to the bone because he was too dense to check the weather report yesterday biking home on the W&OD before East Falls Church.
You: The guy wearing white, short-short shorts...
Memorial was RIDICULOUS coming home today. DC side was okay, but the VA side was like Typhoon Tony Danza. I got around the bend and the wind meant that I didn't have to pedal through the...
It all boils down to determination. It takes an equal amount of determination to ride 10 miles on a clunker versus 20 miles on an ELITE special. Both are a great workout, both require the same amount...
I see it as an excellent opportunity to conduct control studies on ELITE drafting v. bike garment body smell. Fascinating stuff.
From Falls Church to Downtown - I'm doing pretty poorly, is their a happiness map though? Because I'm pretty sure I would be rocking that.
All signs point to no ice between East-West Falls Church, way too warm. Thank god, I almost ate it twice on that patch right before Great Falls.
Why can't we have dynamic Ninja warning devices installed on the W&OD? That or some sort of leader board. Just throwing out ideas here since we are just taking wads of cash and stuffing them into pie...
Ball-rockingly bad bike day. On the other hand no wipeouts on the W und OD! Slushtastic downtown.
You's Guys: A couple riding side-by-side on the W&OD...and yet another couple riding abreast on the Custis.
Me: The dude behind you admiring your love of cycling, nature, and...
