    It’s unfortunate that some of those things, like exotic saddles and unusual bars like trek bars are at once both most needful of being tried on for size to be properly evaluated and virtually impossible to get access to on a trial basis. Funny how that works.

    Are there any bike stores in the DC area that sell these? If so, I assume we could buy one, try it, and then return it if it doesn’t work. I checked on REI’s website and they sell bike seat covers that look the same as the noseless covers, but they just go over your normal seat so they must not be the same thing. http://www.rei.com/category/4500867 There are so many noseless seats out there I don’t know which to try, so haven’t bought one yet, despite numbness issues with regular seats. I ride about an hour per day commuting.

    I am disappointed that the stations don’t go very far North in DC. They should extend them that way. In particular, we need one at Connecticut & Nebraska Aves NW for Politics & Prose bookstore & the restaurants. The nearest stations are a mile away! Also, we need one near the Friendship Heights metro station for the many stores & restaurants there. Takoma Park and Silver Spring need stations too! And the Rosslyn area. I like the coverage so far, but these additions are necessary for it to be even more useful.
