Anyone caught riding on the wrong side of the river should have their “freezing saddles” wrist/ankle bands and/or zipper tags confiscated (and freely distributed on the right side of the river)

What’s the wrong side?

What a great article! Wish this kind of news was more the norm.

Steve is right. After all, it has been done before.

Not sure how they filmed that, but an amazing clip for sure!

Regardless of what your bike or bike components are made of, single use plastics such as water bottles are one of the largest threats to our global environment. They end up in landfills, along the trail sides that we clean (Freezing Saddles trail clean up crew), it’s what we ship to Southeast Asia to recycle on our behalf, it’s the main component of Trash Island in the Pacific Ocean, and it is the microplastics that now litter our bodies. This film highlights the urgency on the elimination and reduction of single use plastics in an area mostly impacted by the effects. I’m curious to see the intersection of this global issue and cycling. Come check out the film and let’s discover together!

Forget plastics, the biggest pollution from a peloton are those little foil goo dispensers and all the damn banana peels.

Beware the banana peels of doom!

Unfortunately life has conspired against me. Between the new furry terrorist in the house and having to work on Sunday, I don’t think I can pull this off as much as I’d like to. Womp womp.

See komorebi’s reply #22 above. Really, all you need to bring is a sleeping bag. Oh yeah, I guess clothes to change into once you get there, though you could get away with wearing the same stinky clothes the entire trip.

Stinky2k1?

Sarah and I are doing the same thing for AFCC. Perhaps we can coordinate the ride out afterwards?

Yes! I am so in for this. Will roll out after AFCC. If there is mud again this year, you early rollers will be spared my sailor-esque language

Glad that you’re biking to work. That’s awesome and the Anacostia River Trail is wonderful. No personal experience during commuting hours but Sarah Bee used to commute on the ART when she lived in Riverdale (Hope she sees this post). I’ve mostly biked it on weekends and haven’t seen any problems except for the occasional deer jumping out on to the trail. I’m a 6’3″ dude though, so our perceptions of safe or what’s comfortable might differ.

Etobey- glad you are biking to work. This trail system is an absolute delight. Early in the morning and at dusk are very safe times to bike this. I’ve done it late at night by myself and though I felt safe, it is very dark (no lights), lots of critters abound, and damp boardwalks can be slippery, making it a more challenging night commute. For night riding by yourself or winter commuting, I have an alternate road/MBT route I can recommend. Also, Rumi and Christy in Hyattsville regularly commute this route together into DC & back. Would recommend connecting with them if you are looking for a commute buddy. Hope this helps & enjoy this lovely piece of infrastructure!

I had a lot of fun with this. No way anybody will convince me to strap and dangle 80 lbs of water and wood chips to my body and haul it up outta four mile run again, but I’d do it again in a non competitive fashion.

Watching you strap and dangle stuff to yourself during this last year was in my top 3.

[SarahBee]

Yay!!!!! This was in my top 10 events last year. And now that Josephine has a trailer…

Assuming a modicum of linearity in the system will make a 16 inch rise in 16 years inconsistent with the high estimate of 19 inches in 31 years.

Actually, the 4 to 19 inches came from a 2008 publication. It’s 2019 now. How is that prediction panning out?

The only reason I’m being a pain here is given the relative magnitude of sea level rise and flood level heights caused by storms means that the 65% probably of an 8 foot flood, of true, is almost completely unrelated to sea level rise, presumably the harm associated with climate change.

On the notion of model consistency, if models of the same thing generate different results, how do we choose which model to trust?

PS: Any forecasting economist who doesn’t provide a standard error (a measure of range) when asked with his estimates should be drummed out of the profession.

General question, tangentially related. How great would it be if meteorologists (weather forecasters) also included standard error in their weather estimates. I mean, forecasts are mostly statistics after all anyway. I can always dream… 50% chance of rain given a normal model with an error range of + or – 10%.
