You don't need a new route, you just need to pass them before 7:00 a.m., which is when they both open. (7-Eleven is the only place I pass that's open and, for some reason, I have never been tempted...

I don't log in for a couple of months -- I couldn't or wasn't allowed to ride for a while -- and I suddenly get a message:

Ths short version: No snow, no ice, no slush, no cars.

By early afternoon, yesterday, all traces of snow had been washed away, so I was not expecting an problems this morning. (If there was snow...

I still have a faint scar from where my chain ring sliced my right ankle because a woman simply backed out of a parking space without looking and we collided.

Also, whenever I go through that...

My rack of choice is the Jandd Expedition Rack. I've used some others, but this one is still my favorite. I've got 14+ years of service out of the one on my commuter.

Rather than cross at Henderson Rd, when I'm going through here, I usually take the light at Park Dr. I've never timed it, but it seems quicker. (I wish Pershing Dr wasn't blocked off.)

Those look good too. I like the ones I got because I can wear them on the way home without the power on. They're not really anymore bulky than a pair of cold weather gloves I bought a year or two...

Westbound Columbia Pike is down to one lane from S Ode St to S Queen St. Traffic is backed up to the old Navy Annex. I don't know if it will be clear later. (No one was around the construction...

These frmo CozyWinters. There are three heat settings. The batteries are rechargeable and fit in a pouch on the gloves.

Diving isn't expensive -- it's wanting to breath (and be comfprtable) while diving that starts adding up the costs. :)

No. Someone will show up in old, thin, really worn out white bike shorts! Think of the children! No one should have to see this!

There was no ice when I rode in this morning, but it was in the upper 30s. the temperature has dropped to 35, so it might be lower and icy when everyone else rolls out.

Sometimes I forget the...

Nah, because there's only one such intersection. Now if there were an intersection of N Joyce St and N Joyce St....

A few years back, I decided to wimp out at wind chills below 20F and go with heated gloves. I don't have to take the layer approach and I don't lose the freedom of movement. My hands aren't...

CO2 is fine, until you get multiple flats on a ride and run out of CO2 cartridges.... (I don't carry a pump as a backup to CO2, I carry a second pump as a backup in case the first pump fails....)

Well, if you're old, like me, you could remember two intersections of North Pershing Drive and Arlington Boulevard. (If you count the service road, I guess there still are, but I'm thinking back...

The other one is good too:

"You are not an elite rider. You are a fat little man with shaved legs."

And check the batteries on a regular basis, preferably at the end of a ride. Do they shine far enough in front to actually show the pavement? From behind, how far can you be seen? (Turn 'em on and...

Depending on which bike I am on, I might just try and peddle faster than the guy with the pump.

No it's not, I've been by there a couple of times today -- oh, you mean "North" Old Glebe Road and "North" Glebe Road. There is an intersection of (South) Old Glebe Road and (South) Glebe Road in...

They are not closing Wright Gate to cyclists at 6:00 p.m. -- they are closing the gate to visitors. (If you have a DoD ID (CAC), you can still use the Wright Gate until 11:00 p.m.) They are not...

I've been commuting to the Navy Yard for more than 14 years. Admittedly, I do ride in earlier than everyone else here, but I always take M Street. (Even if I ride in later than usual, I take M...

I don't shoal -- I tend to assume I'm going to be slower than the cyclist that's already stopped.

I rarely get shoaled. On the way home, I'll sometimes have a cyclist stop next to me, but...

Channing the box-style curb cuts would be a good idea. I'm not sure if extending the bike trail helps or not. The sharrows might help. The cones? I've never had an issue with them.

My only problem...

If the people are wearing Spandex in the shower, are they ELITE?
