Should have come to FridayCoffeeclub at Swings! We were all there taking shelter from the cold wet weather

I didn’t see ANYONE on a bike this morning. I was coming in earlier than usual, but it was very odd!

I know, but it’s tough when I have to be at my desk by 8:15 and it’s almost three miles back to Rosslyn. Oh wait, aren’t I always saying I’m looking for an excuse to add extra miles?

I saw 3 different people on the bike today. Much less than usual. I detoured to FridayCoffeeClub and was still the first person in the bike room this morning.

I was in the silver tube of eternal germiness this morning. Wife and I are going to dinner/show after work, so that was just the “easiest” thing to do. I think bike commuting has made me even more anti-social than I used to be. I just can’t handle being surrounded by so many random people, particularly during cold and flu season when half the people in the train are coughing or sniffling. Blech.

I do think I’m going to CaBi from FoBo to dinner though, so at least I’ll get some #BAFS points.

where is this infamous friday Coffee club?

Swings Coffee at 17th and G St. – about a block from the White House

The early crowd usually starts getting there around 0730. Most people are gone by 0900.

Since the closure of the mailroom in NEOB, due to increased security following 9/11, messenger deliveries to White House and the Executive Office Buildings have been banned for years now. Clandestine rendezvouses of bike messengers and willing recipients of deliveries to these locations have occurred at this coffee shop.

I sighted Laurie Lemieux on D Street NE this afternoon and not long afterwards, her and husband Jeff on Pennsylvania Avenue headed for Virginia.

I sighted Kevin Ulrich and Justin Antos on the last leg of the century they rode today.

I did too — where Sunnyside crosses the train tracks. But I didn’t know it was them!

I saw my wife (who is not a member of the forum) waiting to cross 14th St this morning after dropping off her CaBi.

I saw Lou Reed riding a bike, and then I realized it was DismalScientist.

I got an awesome Crysb smile on the W&OD on my way home.
