Did I have a pfunk sighting? My stache was accessorized with a red bike, red jacket, and black knickers.

Apart from the obvious fashion / style points, what are the benefits of knickers over full-length tights? Is it for when it’s too cold for shorts but not cold enough for pants?

Thanks

Any conflict between comfort and aesthetics is resolved by Rule #5.

Honestly, like most things, you have to find what works for you. I’ve got full length tights for lower temps or wet plus temps in the low 20’s.

It was definitely the fluffy face of The Agency (aka 1/.

Furry.

But no kilt.

A mention doesn’t count – you have to see him in the full glory of it, pleats and all. A bit like this:

I think I saw OneEighth on the Custis this morning. Actually, I have no idea what he looks like, but they guy I saw had a kickass mustache, so I just assumed it was him.

Was said stache riding West on the Custis? With a white jersey?

Strangest kilt I ever saw…

I launched a little after 6 and headed North. Docked about an hour later. The upper stretch past Georgetown is absolutely amazing as the sun comes up and paints the Fall leaves that crowd the riverbanks.

It looked even better from on the water.

A little test anyone can try at home—face a mirror in a dark room, point the strobe at the mirror and look straight ahead. That ought to give you a pretty good idea how oncoming trail users feel.
For an even better idea, try immediately running out of the room after strobing yourself without running into anything.

That’s the thing about unintended consequences—it isn’t always the issue you identify that comes back to bite you.

All I’m saying is that anytime you challenge how people view something, you risk them re-evaluating in ways you don’t want or expect. Just my opinion. No one has to agree. It’s not like whether I’m right or wrong is going to be determined on this forum.

Frankly, I’m not sure how one justifies separate infrastructure just for horses, pedestrians, and bicycles without the recreation element. If it’s just about transportation, why not allow under 50cc scooters to use cycling infrastructure? What makes pedals relevant?

Just food for thought. Take it or leave it—up to you.

I like that OneEighth makes his kid run alongside him to get to school. It’s like he’s her boxing coach. Hurry up kid, I’m not gonna unclip for you!

Title IX, baby.

Just to clarify—I’m not making an argument for or against ebikes here. I’m just expressing concern that if the trail system is just another transportation corridor, it becomes much more difficult to restrict it’s use.
