    I like it except for the condition of the street. Why wouldn’t this be fixed first?

    I am disappointed that the street wasn’t resurfaced first, like the way L street was done. Otherwise it’s a big improvement and a big win for cycling in DC.

    I did a little extra customizing on mine.

    Oh man, I need to borrow this when I ride across the rocks on the fairfax CCT. I’d be like Evel Knievel my hero!

    I almost think you could power over these rocks with a dual suspension bike. No trials skills needed.

    Dirt *almost* did

    Ha, that’s not possible at this one! I’m going to try it this summer. Might fall in the first couple of times but I think I can do it. I watch a lot of trial bike videos so I am practically an expert.

    Well, I got passed by one ebike heading up Wilson from Rosslyn by the Safeway, then after I turned around at Great Falls St, I saw another ebike in Benjamin Banneker Park. The one in Rosslyn was a black bike, didn’t pay enough attention to the second since I wanted to get out of the rain.

    Neither of them were me. I usually stay on lee hwy through falls church and Rosslyn in the summer.

    Back in my day, there was only one bike shop and the only bike you could buy was a schwinn. I had a scrambler, and I rode that until early 80s and then bought a world sport. No bike lanes so I rode in traffic to my first job when I was 16. The only thing that hasn’t changed us that car drivers hated us then and they hate us now!

    I actually stopped and got a pasty just now. It’s a lot like an empanada.

    You: A lady and a gentlemen on e-assist bikes
    Me: Laughing my a$$ off, because you two cat 6 athletes were totally racing down Brandywine Castle in an epic dual

    I think some people are misunderstanding “missed connection”. Here is a missed connection on an e-assist bike.

    I totally cheated today and rode an ecargobike to work in a suit. it was fun and I didn’t sweat, but not as much fun as riding tandem with Dirt and wearing a suit. Some super fast fixed guy commented just near the Custis pond and then dude took off. I was going about 19 and he flew by and disappeared around the corner.

    Was the comment “cheater”?
