    Two sightings in one day, including the thread’s namesake! Two arlingtonrider sightings in one week! What a beautiful morning!

    guga31bb sighting (I think) yesterday going thru the Marriott parking lot and onto the Custis. Whoever it was came out a bit in front of me and I immediately thought, “I want to own that bike.” Then I thought I recalled having seen it on the postpicsofyourbike thread and made the connection. If it wasn’t you, then there are two of those beauties riding around. Anyways, I lost you at a light so couldn’t catch up to say hi, but maybe next time.

    Yep that was me! I remember a person watching me as I was coming out of the parking lot onto Custis. I was doing a kind of awkward should-I-slow-down so it didn’t seem like I was trying to cut you off as I merged onto Custis, but then I think you slowed down, too.

    Oh wait, I had my camera — here’s the moment preserved forever ~

    Love the pic! Yea, I was doing the same thing. It looked to me like you were going to be faster than me, and I was somewhat tired, so I was trying to let you get out in front of me. Otherwise I would have had to work way too hard to not look slow and get blown by. Instead I got to have a painfully slow climb up the hill.

    I think I saw KayakCyndi on a fast bike, eastbound on Custis ~3:50pm around the Lee Hwy overpass.

    Definitely wasn’t me. I only WISH I could ride my fast bike and ride it fast. No, I’m riding only slow bikes slowly for the next few weeks but at least I’m RIDING!

    Aww, I thought maybe you’d made a fast recovery.

    I elited this post because you’re awesome but don’t overdo it. Listen to your body.

    Nice to see you! We were spotted by Shawn Dread too, also doing the #kidical thing. BTW, if you wish to shorten the expression “metric century”, leave off the first word, not the second. Thank you. :)

    Spotted DBB piloting a Honda Accord (I think) onto 23rd from Virginia Ave as I was walking from the metro.

    We’d better double check his Strava posting then.

    It was an act of kindness. I hope I was well mannered.

    OK I’ll say it

    My name is Dana and I occasionally drive a car. Isn’t that the first step?

    I can stop anytime.

    Just noting the sighting, no judgment intended. I’ve even seen the thread’s namesake driving!

    I didn’t see anyone today, but I did ride my bike, and I also drove. I can honestly say, though, since I was home with my kids today, the only reason I drove was to scope out the condition of the surface streets along my alternate, non-MUP commute route (the kids even went with me). Driving does have its uses…
