    Write to your elected representatives. If you have links to anyone on Appropriations, even better.

    Low five from KayakCyndi.
    Pretty sure her job is to ride all day.
    Very, very jealous.

    Smaller cog is the answer here.

    Not when you are running big honking studded tires and riding in snow. But yes, otherwise the magic number is 16.

    One more thing, I found that Surly 17+ tooth cogs did not work well with my preferred chain. They tended to bind. Get Phils.

    I’ve had that happen before when I changed the chain but not the cog or chainring. If you’ve got 1/4 to 1/2 inch play in the chain at the tightest point, then it is probably your cog and/or chainring.

    I’ve seen it at the MVT/GWMP crossing, although never been the direct cause. I imagine it must be an odd feeling…not really guilt, but maybe that they likely blame you? since drivers tend to blame everyone but themselves….

    You mean like teenagers?

    The posts were askew earlier in the week. Probably as a result of the set-up activities on the Mall.

    In my experience, condensation makes surfaces more slippery than rain somehow. My last bad crash was several years ago on a warm humid morning in April. I went down almost (breaking my hand) on one of the granite curb cuts around the Jefferson as I turned at about 2 mph to cross Ohio Drive. The curb cuts and other random surfaces were wet from condensation, but the curb cuts seemed especially slick as was the Trollheim this morning.

    Those curb cuts can be deceptively slick. Got my bell rung after losing the front on one of them a few years ago. Definitely approach them more carefully now.

    My morning commuter was from Tysons to home again, and it hurt. Yesterday was my first day on the fixie in over two months, and I can’t believe how sore my quads are. But that bike don’t peddle itself.

    Pain makes you beautiful.

    What is up with the unicycle craze. Are people wishing they lived in a time before two wheels or gears of any kind?

    Gears? I dunno… What do you think, dcv?

    You should check out Erbach/Eltville. Or Wispertal.
    And absolutely go eat and drink here: http://www.weinhaus-klepper.de/
    And you have no idea how jealous I am.
