Now armed with the knowledge that the sponsor of this pointless prize uses the CaBi station around the corner at Commonwealth & Reed in the Lynnhaven hood of Alexandria, I shoveled snow there to free up 5 CaBi bikes, 11 docks and the e-kiosk.
On the walk back home, I helped push a car that got stuck exiting the alley where I stash my bikes, and then shoveled out the ice dam in the street to reduce the ice sheet formation later tonight, but this is also self serving since I use the alley (along with 6 other residences and an adjacent apartment building). No pics but I do have several grateful witnesses.

You motivated me to be a good citizen and help the kiddos get to school (whenever it opens) by shoveling two sidewalks and 3 curb cuts. Gotta keep those kiddos safe. Plus I couldn’t bike. First one is before, last three are after.

This is pro level pandering. I actually walked to a different station this afternoon to avoid having to climb over the CaBi snow mountain. I’ll be making use of your handiwork tomorrow.

Excellent (and hard) work! The sidewalks were mostly ice blocks in my neighborhood today.

Trail etiquette signs were placed near Alexandria trails by BPAC volunteers several weeks ago. While riding on the partially cleared Four Mile Run Park Trail today, I noticed a couple of the signs had been bent over with heavy snow. Using my hands I scrapped off the snow and ensured the signs were once again standing tall to deliver their messages.

Found plenty of opportunities to give back – many curb cuts were blocked with snow. At the intersection of Wilkes and Henry in Alexandria, there are curb cuts for people who walk and bike to access the Wilkes Street Bikeway. Of course they were blocked, so I got to work to create pathways for the users of this route.

I also joined today’s Friends of the Mount Vernon Trail event to help clear snow, ice, and fallen trees from the path. I forgot to include my bike in pictures but maybe Judd will forgive?
25 Points for SFrank! 20 Mega Points for shoveling snow. 5 Bonus Points for a most excellent Auntie Selfie.
