    Janae,
    Please join us at the happy hour this Thursday at Capitol City Brewing Co. in Shirlington if you can. (Info is under Events). Many of us once had your same questions and issues and would be glad to share what has helped us. Also, we’d love to welcome you and introduce you to some of your fellow commuters.

    Also, any #safetrack or other riders new to bike commuting or this forum are especially welcome. We’re basically a group of bike commuters and I always bring some area bike maps and nametags to help everyone get acquainted. (You don’t need to have any interest in the Tour de France to enjoy this get-together and, while helpful, rsvps are not required.) Please feel welcome to join us!

    Save the date! And Happy Independence Day, too!

    I checked the TdF schedule and we won’t be missing any of the big stages on that date, so please come join us at Capital City Brewing Co. in Shirlington starting at 5 pm on July 21 for another fun get-together!

    As usual, rsvps and some 5 pm arrivals to help save patio tables are greatly appreciated. All are welcome!

    Tnelson, sent you a PM following up on coffee club this morning. You can find it under notifications in upper right hand corner of this page if you sign in. Glad you could join us this morning!

    This is so sad to read about and so unnecessary if everyone would be a little more thoughtful of others. I hope that those who want to go faster or avoid the MVT crowds (especially during Safetrack) will consider using alternate routes, such as the back way around the Pentagon to Boundary Channel Drive or Eads.

    I won’t be able to make it tomorrow, but hope to join you all next week (or better yet, Weds. morning at Best Buns)!

    It was fun! I’m glad everyone made it despite the questionable early weather forecasts. About five of us lingered til about 9 pm, a little longer than we probably should have in view of the oncoming red and yellow storm cells. I hope everyone made it home alright!

    We’re still on! I just checked the hourly weather report and it looks like we’ll probably be ok for a few hours. I plan to get there at 5 pm. Please feel free to join us even if you didn’t rsvp.

    The weather is looking great for happy hour tomorrow! Rain ending around noon. Great specials on beer and appetizers. Come join us! @Arlingtonrider 141269 wrote:

    New riders and commuters (#safetrack) are especially welcome, and will find out how much more fun it is to commute by bike when you know some of your fellow riders. We’re a friendly and welcoming group and will have nametags available to help everyone get acquainted.

    RSVPs on the forum and 5 – 5:30 pm arrivals (for those who can get there that early) are greatly appreciated and will help us save tables. Looking forward to seeing you all!

    We needed a Tuesday coffee club on this side of town. Thanks for organizing! Eventually, there will also be the option of swinging up to Commonwealth Joe’s at Eads and 12th to fill up the travel mug.

    The temporary MVT curb bumps at the south end of DCA were nicely smoothed out overnight. Many thanks to dbb and others for making that happen!

    Many thanks to Karen, Chris, Steve O, Mark and all the “bike watchers,” and everyone else who helped make last night’s happy hour such great fun! That was one of the best ever. Mucho love and appreciation to all of you!
