    Just ride a fixed-gear bike with really tall gearing. Thieves won’t be able to ride it away. Kinda like all those carjackers that get foiled by manual transmissions.

    You can also completely disable a fixie by locking the crank to the chainstay with a u-shaped motorcycle disc lock.

    Now you’ve done it. I’m going to have Lemmy rasping in my head all day long.

    Shoe covers wouldn’t have helped me. The water covering the W&OD undepass at Wilson was above my bottom bracket.
    That was fun.
    And cold.

    Shifting + born in the 1960s = Working knees.

    Knees make the rhythmic noises that help me maintain a consistent cadence.

    What is this “shifting” that you speak of? Sounds like it’s more trouble than it’s worth.

    I’m confused at this point what the controversy is. If you have someone there you can bike in with a family pass just as with a car, right?

    Yes. If you wear a helmet while driving your car, that is…

    I’ve found 48×16 (81) or 48×17 (76) are pretty good for most of this area, unless you are regularly riding up 41st or Walter Reed, etc.
    48×17 will make stopping as well as uphills easier.
    In the end, though, whatever works best for you works best for you. Just know that the higher gearing isn’t really all that bad.

    Have gotten many years, miles, and smiles out of my Surly Steamrollers. Versatile and durable steel frame if somewhat utilitarian (which is kinda appealing to me in a commuter).
