ParticipantNot sure this would have helped but it’s my favorite ( assuming you have have an iPhone, otherwise never mind ) http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bike-repair/id382006079?mt=8
ParticipantParticipantI don’t know squat about Virginia but I sure would like to know what your preferred route to Gettysburg was.
ParticipantOperative term. Nothing like trying to get it sorted out in front of a standing room only rush hour busload of impatient, tired commuters. Gee it looked so simple from afar. DooHH:p

I think for my first trip I’ll try a Sunday morning when ridership is low.
ParticipantMaybe, but he was walking backwards, in the grass as opposed to on the sidewalk and bending over to peer at the bikes. He was VERY obviously inspecting the bikes, I was just trying to imagine a plausible ‘honest’ reason for doing so as opposed to thinking the worst.

What’s that expression about not trying to walk and chew gum at the same time? I see people do all sorts of absent minded behavior while talking on a cell phone. Think about how often you see regular people who are NOTtalking on cell phones/texting walk into a street or zig zag back and forth or walk into other people/objects? Not that often. Now how often do you see a person on a cell phone/texting do the same? A lot more. It’s why we had the April Fools trick about the app to alert car drives to those pesky peds and bikers.
I’m not saying the guy was innocent but I do observe people engaging in all sort of unusual, absent minded, almost drunk like behaviour while on a cell phone/texting and trying to walk. Maybe he was just absent mindedly staring at the ground while talking?
ParticipantMore protected bike lanes = music to my ears.
ParticipantImmersing and soaking for an hour in a kitchen sink full of Dr Bronners ( non-detergent ) dish soapy water then squeezing out the little foam pads before wearing again every fall has always worked for me. Makes me feel better anyway since it smells like pine needles and perception is what counts after all. :p

Probably, as long as you stay away from the high heat dry cycle.
I always heard the best way to clean them was wear it in the shower. Makes sense really.
ParticipantPhotoshop bikes lanes would be an amusing pastime. Could be as much fun as these samples.
ParticipantI’m such a sucker. I actually thought it was for real right up to the end of the video. Hil -freakin-larious , and really well done.
ParticipantGlad to hear it, I’m sure you’ll like the area. Might see each other, I’m probably only half a mile from you in NW.
ParticipantI smell a hit new program on Bike TV. If there were a Bike TV.

Be honest, I don’t know much about it because it’s in the box. I really want the loop recording like a CCTV. After something happens, I can stop and retrieve the video. With 32 GB of SD cards, I should have 8 hour HD video.
ParticipantWe want pic-tures
We want pic-tures
We want pic-turesthe heavy shiny bike from goring anyone on a packed, lurching Metro train for 12 stops, and pedaled it in broad daylight through the streets of DC wearing four-inch platform boots, sequined tights, and a ridiculous mini-skirt that had a human eye right on the level of where my bike shorts should have be
ParticipantI suspect you need to start measuring your rhinestones in kilograms.

Tomorrow is the day! The Diamond Derby in Crystal City!
My bike is finally coming together, since Mardi Gras, I’ve taken the basket off and reworked it and added approximately 50 yards of rhinestones to my bike. It is quite a sight.

ParticipantJackie’s is the restaurant, Sidebar is the side bar. Very good places both. Much more low key than Quarry House.
ParticipantNot sure where the anxiety about living along Sligo Creek in Takoma Park is coming from but you could live with a few hundred yards of the Washington Adventist Hospital and be in a very safe, friendly, diverse neighborhood. The DC area is a major metropolis with almost six million people when you measure the far flung commuter ex-urbs. People get held up at gun point in front of million dollar homes here – just about as often as people get bitten by sharks. Very slightly more than that in urban blight sections but thats life in a large city. Get over the anxiety and get into the joy and excitement of rubbing shoulders with 4 -6 million of your fellow hominides.

Before I even consider bars, or clubs (I drink occasionally, not weekly or nightly). I need to worry about a good area, that is bicyclist friendly,and fun area to live in. I appreciate the advice on bars and restaurants, but right now, a place to feel comfortable riding my bike for errands, and not feeling like I’m going to be broken into because the folks across the street have seen me with three different bikes going in and out.
