I am down for this as well. Assuming I can ride every day to work, my total would be around 225 a week. As an aside, I started biking to work a few weeks ago, from Dupont to Reston. Based on what I see, most people commute the opposite. Does anyone go my way?

Who needs a shower when there are baby wipes, gold bond medicated body powder, and spray deodorant?

I’m using two 9.5″ ones. VERY inexpensive.

About how many hours do you tend to get on one set of 8 AA batteries? Do these things have an easy on/off switch?

In addition to the situation with the joggers, there are often cyclists that ride the wrong way in a bike lane. This bothers me to no end. Once, I gave an intense, disapproving stare to someone doing this. She returned an embarrassed, sheepish shrug. But of course she continued on her (wrong) way.

Once, while riding up the two-way bike lane on 15th just north of Penn, I nearly ran down a group of people standing in the bike lane, something tourists do all the time. Being the DC ambassador that I am, I usually yell at them to get the — out of the bike lane. This time, the offender was indeed from out of town: Senator Chuck Schumer.

I have them on a bike that just sits in the locked bicycle room in my building. Apparently a few thieves (who later were caught by DC Metro) broke into the room, stole a few bikes, and my seat. The locking skewer apparently deterred them from getting the seat post, but they still were able to steal the seat itself. So I am not so sure the skewers were worth it. Probably better off with a good cable in addition to your u-lock.
