Anyone seen him? He commutes between Rosslyn and Alexandria on the MVT at least once or twice per week, as far as I can tell. I’ve seen him going both directions. He’s kind of difficult to miss. He’s the guy who appears to ride the vast majority, if not all of his commute without the front tire touching the ground. If I’ve seen him with his front tire down, I have no idea because he’d just be another guy riding a mountain bike on the path. His commute is opposite of mine, so he’s heading south in the morning and north in the afternoon.
There was a kid who joined up mid-route to one of the social rides last fall/winter in DC who spent 99% of the time on just his rear wheel. It was really amusing…until he began running all the red lights and *NEARLY* got smashed by a truck.
I’ve seen him one or two other times at night in DC.
There’s also a guy I’ve seen in Clarendon who sits on his bike facing the rear (with the bike going forward), and he steers behind his back and looks over his shoulder to see where he’s going. Whenever I see him in the bike lane on Wilson, for a moment I’m confused about whether or not he is salmoning…
