Anyone quit taking the metro and start bike commuting for safety reasons?

Hi all,
I’m writing a story for the Washington Post Express and looking to chat with people who quit taking metro and started bike commuting at least in part because they were concerned about the Metro’s maintenance and safety issues. Please drop me a line if this sounds like you! Sadie D at gmail

This is why I don’t bike when there’s a risk of ice on the trail. (Sorry, Freezing Saddles!) I’m doing this for my health!

Except maybe when in that commuter fog … :confused:
