A few of these on the MVT should go a long way to identifying the glass culprit

This isn’t safe either – he’s not wearing a helmet.

Or a personal flotation device

There’s also this, from Two Wheel Gear. Much more expensive than the Nashbar one – I don’t know whether it’s worth the extra money, but I’ve heard good things about these

I’ve been using one of the two wheel gear panniers for two years now. As long as you’re ok with using a rear rack it’s one of the better options; in it I can easily fit a suit, shirt, shoes, belt, undergarments, lunch, 32oz thermos, 17inch work laptop, emergency fleece, bike tools, helmet raincover, rainjacket & rainpants.

My only complaints:
Its not quiet long enough to fit a suit jacket on a hanger without rumpling the bottom.
External access to the laptop pocket so I don’t have to open up the main compartment to remove my work laptop.
Wouldn’t mind a water bottle sleeve.

Otherwise, I’ve found it extremely durable and with the included raincover I’ve yet to arrive with wet clothing in my bag.

For those wondering, I don’t carry that much on a daily basis (I leave a couple suits, shoes & belts at work) but I have had days when I’ve needed to bring all of that with me.

If this helps as a reference point of workable options: my bike came new from Giant with a Tiagra groupset and a Shimano HG50 which is a 11-34 mtb cassette. The chainrings are 34/48.

I thought we were overdue for a vigorous letter of the law versus spirit of the law “debate”…

there is no safe way for cyclists to cross the Potomac bridges except on sidewalks/paths.

Once it no longer looks like a road, you don’t have to deal with idiots in cars.

But why bother with flexposts at all in this imagined world where things are done right?

You underestimate the ingenuity of idiots… How many people have driven their cars onto sidewalks or into a lake because their GPS told them too?

I think maybe a better approach would be to begin the advocacy process for the naming of the trail. I am proposing that we name the trail “Aubrey Lane’s Folly Trail brought to you by Express Mobility Partners” in honor of Virginia’s Secretary of Transportation Aubrey Lane and the consortium of companies that are designing and building this project.

Change to: “The Aubrey Lane Memorial Gambling Casino Bike Lane for the Insane” and I think you’re on to something…

I live on the Pike just west of 4MR. The other half works near L’Enfant and she takes the 16X daily. She gets on/off at the stop near 12th & Independence.

You: chipmunk scampering back and forth on 4MR where it meets the MVT
Me: cruising to work
You: confusing my front wheel for an exercise wheel
Me: shocked & surprised as you somersaulted past my knee instead of winding up tangled & mangled in my front wheel/fork
You: sticking the landing in stride as you scurried into the bushes off the far side of the trail
Me: I hope you’re ok!

I think the University of Maryland auctions bikes they consider ‘abandoned’ on campus each year.

Think my front caliper was out of alignment?

I call out based on conditions and perceived competencies of the pedestrian. For dogs with too much slack in the leash, I don’t call out and go wide. A call out would just make the dog unpredictable. I’d rather pass the dog before he even know I was there.

Purely anecdotal, but I’ve noticed a percentage of dogs that react better (move ro the right as far as they’re able) to my bell than their owners

we should christen the fresh pavement with a new strava segment.

And then place wagers as to how fast it’ll get flagged as hazardous
