    It’s entirely possible. I wasnt minding the clock since I knew I wasnt going to #FridayCoffeeClub. Yes, I did go over Humpback somewheres around that time. Trail was quite empty. Did we pass?

    We musta crossed at the same time. I almost stopped on the bridge. The geese gliding across the potomac were stunning.

    Most likely. I’m rarely impressed by geese, but today was an exception.

    Ha – I liked this thinking it was for the post about stupid drivers on cell phones (instead of it being about the wild and crazy BikeArlington folks).

    I thinks so, and then again just before 5 pm as you were coming off the wooden trollheim heading to the Roosevelt Island parking lot.

    Squirrels – you and me were the only ones on my 6 mile commute this morning. I missed you – but not by a lot.

    I’m curious how either skateboards and roller blades can walk through the station, or who is riding a “cyclyst” to Metro.

    Or how one dismounts a rollerblade.

    worth it just to mess with them, and watch the stationmaster try to forbid it for some nebulous non-supportable reason

    It does make it hard to hold the handrail on the escalator.

    Does it matter what you hold it with?

    You: older guy on a black fixie and knickers.
    Me: on a red bike with too many lights
    Where: four mile run trail between the end of w&od and mvt

    I didn’t hear you at all behind me – but you passed very slowly and then slowed down in front of me. We kept pace all the way to my exit in crystal city – but it would have been great to talk to you on the ride – did you have earphones in so you couldn’t hear me?

    You: woman who saw me dressed in a neon yellow jacket and tights, as I walked away from the bike rack carrying a bicycle helmet, and then asked me what sport my funny-looking shoes were for. I can excuse your lack of observational skills, but I question why you felt it necessary to rant to me about the one time a cyclist ran into you when you stepped in front of him on the W&OD.

    Me: trying to remain friendly rather than reminding her that drivers, such as herself, nearly kill me on a pretty regular basis.

    Maybe I’ll start that convo with a random person some time: “what kind of lock does that funny looking key with the buttons go in? oh a car…I almost got run over by a car just a few minutes ago. That wasn’t you was it? I like driving, but I see so many of you breaking the law and nearly killing people that I just get too scared to go out on the roads sometimes. but I’m sure YOU aren’t one of those people.”

    I have shiny silver road shoes and a few times I’ve gotten people asking where they can buy those awesome shoes.
