It's the fire station shared by Arlington and Falls Church and it sits right on the county line one or two blocks south of the WOD on the west side.

Westmoreland is in Arlington, Gresham is in...

It's north of the fire station and therefore Arlington. It's Lee Highway.

HOV restrictions on I66 forces traffic onto 50 and other non-freeway arterials such as Lee Highway and Washington Blvd. This seems to be preference of Arlington voters. Similarly, Arlington sued to...

The Champaign study compared what would happen if the city grew by 25% through either a) putting all the additional density within the current city limits or b) putting the housing in the cornfields...

I misread the data. This is just pickup trucks. The study showed reduced emissions by both county residents and non-county residents within the county. My bad.

We have met the enemy and it is us:

I sense a possible violation of Rule #48. No good can come from it.

It also depends on where the weight is. Weight on rotating parts (i.e. wheels) is takes more energy to accelerate than weight on the frames, although there is more of a freewheel effect at speed...

It appears that health records are less secure than one might imagine.

Get well teammate.

Perhaps I improperly inferred your tastes from your advocacy of Dutch-style bikes.:rolleyes:

Trek brochures suggest this is a 1990 with 700 C wheels. It would normally have drop bars with SunTour AccuShift indexed downtube shifters, but this has been replace by a flat bar and SunTour index...

There are many different types of hybrid bikes and I would suggest riding different types before choosing. It looks like the Transfer is more of an urban bike and is heavier than other types of...

I'm a little confused by this one:

It looks like a Trek 420 with flat bars, Late '80s(?), Double butted lugged CroMo frame (maybe 20")...

How about cutting some rubber sheeting like used when putting clamps on seat posts for rear lights?

People have different notions of what constitutes a good commuting/weekend bike for their particular needs. Some might view a steel city bike as fine, while other might prefer a lighter hybrid, and...

Review of the relevant Strava segment leaderboards show little movement last night...

Slackers...:p

A couple of month ago on a nearly deserted WOD, I saw a uniformed bicycle officer slow to about 5 mph, execute a stop signal with military precision, and did a foot down stop with no visible traffic....

Thanks to TwoWheelsDC and Honeybadger6 for organizing this and to all who showed up. Thanks for everyone behaving so my neighbors didn't have to call in the police.:rolleyes:

You forgot you sarcasm smiley.:rolleyes:

Don't try this at home. A car traveling 25 mph (actually 36 ft/sec) require 30 ft to stop without any reaction delay. The standard reaction delay at 25 mph is 55 feet. I wouldn't expect a car...

While I don't necessary disagree with any of the suggestions, I wouldn't take any of them too seriously if I were a newcomer to BTWD.
I am an experienced commuter with a 7 mile trip each way. I...

As a point of clarification for the OP, this is an alternative if you are starting out of Rosslyn on Wilson rather than starting out of Rosslyn on the Custis trail.

Well, none of my bike purchases have been "new."

Since it is prime mowing season, that sounds ideal.:rolleyes:

To avoid the traffic on Wilson, I turn right on Key Blvd from Veitch and left on Highland to Clarendon. Key is a quiet residential street, while Wilson is an arterial with bike lanes.
