I can understand why you were frustrated by the red light running…drives me crazy when I see it. As for the rest, I can also see why a group of cyclists might ride together like that. Kind of a safety in numbers thing. Remember that there are a lot of expensive cars being driven through DC and based on my experience, they get some kind of reward or have some massive rich people game centered on intimidating bicyclists (apologies to any expensive car folks on here).

I just always tell myself that when some ELITE biker blows through a red light and I stop and wait, i’m the ELITE one since I can obey the laws and then just catch Mr. ELITE at the next light that he’s unable to illegally fly through.

Well being a Elite Biker i don’t think that expensive car owner shall intimidate the elite bikers, don’ t know why you have faced this issue.

No, not THAT article, no one in my family takes Mr Milloy seriously.

My wife is now worried I might get prostate cancer from biking more than 4 hours a week (which assuming my commuting becomes more regular after we move, is how much I will be biking.) She understands the other health benefits, but I also mentioned to her that I could get a better seat.

Do I need to a new seat (saddle?) only if I am feeling discomfort, or is there a health benefit anyway. What should I look for in a new seat? Note I did not have a new seat at the top of my shopping list, as I still need a some other accessories and kit.

I really enjoyed the posts shared by the community members here.

In this morning’s print edition of the NYT and online last night is an article about parents ditching cars for cargo bikes with quotes from me.

So now I’ve been in the Washington Post and the New York Times this year. I just need a big West Coast paper for the trifecta.

I think it was great that you was on NYtime isn’t it?
