How does Robert S have 3 days on Jan 2nd? That’s a sweet trick!

Thanks for excluding that end of the MVT. I have rerouted through Rosslyn and over to Arlington National Cemetery to avoid the horrendous trail conditions along MVT there

180 s.f. is the actual parking space itself. The 320 s.f. estimate includes the circulation aisles, separators and infrastructure that serves the parking. If you use the 180 s.f. figure, you wind up massively undercounting the space requirements for parking that the 320 s.f. figure aggregates, then averages.

Agree, but that is considering a parking lot vice on street parking, which seems much more applicable to this discussion.

Google says the average is 320 square feet. That’s only off by approximately 10%. I’m not sure I’d trash their argument on that basis. http://www.dimensionsinfo.com/dimensions-of-a-parking-space/

Google says that in one spot, but there are plenty of others that say considerably less. The average seems to be closer to “Typically they fall between 7.5 to 9 feet wide and 10 to 20 feet long. The most common size is 8.5 feet wide by 19 feet long.” At the most, that is 9×20=180 or 51% of the stated area. Also if this is about parking in the city and taking up pedestrian space, I would ask you to look at how closely spaced parked cars are on a typical city street. The average sedan is roughly 7 x 17 or 119 square feet. Bottom line, 350, be it 10% over or 100% over is still over and is therefore spun to help the author’s point of view.

Decided to break down and buy some cold weather shoes. I found Shimano MW5 for $125 including shipping at bikeinn.com.

Great price on these highly rated shoes at bikein.com

They lost me with a parked car taking up 350 square feet. Something that simple to validate and yet being incorrect leads little credence to the rest of their arguments. I fit all three tribes and this article is trying to make the pedestrian side of the triangle a hypotenuse that exceeds the other two sides. I wish people (journalist, researchers, etc.) would stick to stating validated facts vice so much opinion, spin, and fake facts to prove their point.

Any suggestion for keeping feet warm and dry when temperatures are below 30 degrees? I currently use neoprene toe covers and high viz pearl shoe covers with merino wool socks. But after 45 mins, my feet are freezing. Any help would be appreciated.

I’m in this boat too. I recently found out based on another thread, that I need to keep my lower legs warmer to avoid the radiator effect on my feet. When I changed from uninsulated tights to Amphib with light fleece, I easily added 20 minutes to my toe comfort. I’m going to try sock liners next. After that I will go full rain cover for the shoes.

Unable to attend.

Yes, the $3.50 shipping charge will cover shipping for an unlimited number of bands (unless you’re planning to buy up my entire supply, in which case we need to have a separate conversation).

Payment sent for 5 plus shipping. Thanks!

[Hancockbs]

Can we buy several if having them shipped?

Me: riding west on Maine near the fish market at 6:30am with a headlight.

You: Riding east, slowly getting closer and closer to the curb, nearly forcing me into the street heading the wrong way. Thanks for finally getting back in your lane after I yelled “heads up!” It would have been nice however if you had apologized.

[Hancockbs]

Interested. Just sent a text ending in 3663.

[Hancockbs]

Thanks for serving!

I live and work well south of DC, so I probably won’t participate in the group rides much. If anyone is down near Quantico or Manassas and wants to ride together, that’s more likely for me. Several good doughnut shops down this way if others want to come down for a ride.
