    Cabi stations need to be located everywhere in places that do not result in casual users stopping and standing around in the trail itself. Gravelly Point is already one of the worst spots in the region for this behavior, and placing a Cabi dock directly adjacent the trail like that will only make it worse. Gravelly Point is a great place to have a station, but it should be put on the perimeter of the parking lot visible from but recognizably away from the trail. The same goes for just about everywhere else whenever possible.

    Sorry guys, most of our newfangled digital cameras work just fine without a mirror to focus, so steveo is going to continue showing up unless you start wearing garlic necklaces to these photo shoots.

    So where are the hoods you guys made for your lights?

    I realized on the way home one could very easily swap out a hood and turn the throw pattern into WuTang or the bat signal

    Cool!
    I made a prototype out of a piece of bent coathanger and a bit of thicker plastic. Tried a soda bottle first but the plastic is too flimsy. Colored it with a sharpie. I wonder what the final shape of the hood will need to be.

    Oh I am so gonna do this. My headlight does have a wide throw*, and I’ve come across one or two cross traffic whiners at night. All you’d really need is an opaque sliver of plastic and a springy length of stainless wire to make a pinching clip I’d think.

    *I have access to a light meter here at work and decided to test my light, and the outer throw ring at 12 feet from source comes up around 1-2 footcandles (18 lux), and the center throw which is about 3 feet wide at 20 ft out is only 18 footcandles which really makes me lol at the whiners even harder.

    I was looking at some of the stats and I would just like to commend your team for having a grand total of 8 sleaze days across the entire team so far. Those lazy bums on team 10 have 61 and that’s a whole lotta goin nowhere.

    The Merry Band of Idiots is clearly doping too, it’s right there in the name, so I don’t see why you guys feel like anything unfair is happening

    Sorry that I peed on your bike.

    Made me think of a dive bar in St. Louis called the creepy crawl that seriously had a bathroom that was almost like an open pit.

    As some of you already know there’s one of these bike wash stations behind the parking lot at the tip of Hains Point, it’s free and heated and open 24 hours a day.

    From the Pentagon there was about an inch of snow (already with multiple tire tracks) on the footbridge by the LBJ grove. The MVT over the humpback was clear. Curious how the MVT down to 4MRT, and 4MRT itself were. I took the bus from Shirlington to Pentagon, because some ice in front of my building got me nervous, but after seeing the MVT, I think I wimped out unnecessarily.

    It wasn’t frozen or slippery, even on the airport bridges. I bet there will be some ice tonight and tomorrow morning though.

    ***I was totally wrong. I love losing bets like this!
