so, it sounds like you’ve probably prevented more of these incidents, doesn’t mean you should stop doing it.

yes, I’m more delicate than a 23 month old girl

especially when it comes to “about one trillion watts — one terawatt (10¹² W), and the stroke lasts for about 30 to 90 microseconds.” (source: wikipedia article on lightning that I should not have read, because I’m already more scared of lightning than I am of the real Pennywise)

OK, ugh. I had intended to ride tomorrow. I didn’t ride today because my lazy ass couldn’t engage the brain at zero:dark:30.

Those of you with options other than cycling, are you going to ride tomorrow? Or lay low? I’ve ridden in plenty of rain, but nothing too severe yet, trying to decide what to do.

I think we have a few Vuvuzelas left over, but this year’s loud swag item is cowbells! We hope that they’ll debut at the Diamond Derby.

I thought the whole reason we rode bikes was so that we didnt have to ride the subway !! :rolleyes:

Not all of us live within an easily bike-able distance of our work. I’m making seriously attempts, and progress, to commute by bike. I’ve even managed to cut about 10 miles off by using the Metro bus system. It’s still ~24 miles, one way. If I could cut another 5 miles by using the Metro I would be able to commute every day, rather than just about 2-3 days a week.

Of course, the problem with Metro is that it’s already pretty much at capacity, especially with the trains lasting 1/2 the maintenance period they want (http://unsuckdcmetro.blogspot.com/2012/09/its-trains-stupid.html). So, allowing bikes during rush would probably attract many more passengers, with bikes that would really fill the cars already at standing only room.

Interestingly, when I worked in Suitland, it took about 1:20 to ride Metro (red line from Med center to green line/suitland). I could bike to work (mostly down the CCT) in about 1:30. I’m sure if I was doing that commute today, I could do it faster (in much better shape now). Of course, I’d love to find a job in downtown DC, but I take what I can get!

Now, if they would only amend their policy about no bikes during rush, I would be SO happy. I know that could be a nightmare if not done properly, but aren’t there other cities with large transit systems that allow bikes? At least adjust the hours a little bit, I’ve hopped on at 7pm on days when I just don’t have enough in the tank to get home, and it seems like 7pm is WAY later than it needs to be.

The knee has been great I wouldn’t miss this possibly last one even if it wasn’t. And with the beer so cheap, I’ll be filling my water bottles for the trip home

I’m not sure that’s your primary concern.

Obviously a custom dress. There’s no way a real dress would actually come in that size. So, the real question is, how long ago did he commission it and why? For just 1 picture? doubtful….
