    Maybe Ovechkin was trying to reconnect after heading back to Mother Russia?

    Had a nice little ride with Jason K yesterday down 4MR and W&OD. Thanks for slowing down to ride, it was nice to chat for a while.

    To the lady sweeping broken glass off of the 14th street bridge trail this morning: Thank you.

    Oh wow, that is awesome. I hope she finds her way to the South Capitol Street Bridge!

    Looks like they are banning them in NYC (from WashCycle): http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/04/26/mayor-bloomberg-expected-to-sign-e-bike-ban/

    Same here. Best one I’ve ever used by far.

    Also, they sell them at Target (and I’m sure elsewhere), if you want more immediate gratification than Amazon.

    I love that you did the Wine Country Century in an Oberon jersey, and then went to Russian River. Now THAT sounds like a good party.

    Spotted Walter Tejada riding on the W&OD at Columbia Pike. Said hi and thanked him for all his support of cycling.

    I’m not really into politics, but it’s pretty great that our County Board Chairman is out riding on his own for seemingly no reason other than it’s a nice day to ride.

    Spotted Tim today taking the lane thru Memorial Circle and across the bridge. By “spotted,” I mostly mean “heard.”

    Interesting commute this morning. Slight rain the whole way in. Felt like I needed those windshield wiper glasses that Screech and Slater invented on “Saved by the Bell”. I figured this dedication made me a true commuter…until the afternoon ride home.

    Bridges get really slippery in the rain (duh) as do brakes. Had my first flip over the bars. I like to think it was a pretty epic wipeout, with a couple inch slide. The bike is still in good shape and I got by with just a sore ankle. The jacket is nice and dirty. Pannier protected the physics exams and ipad. THAT little event, I think, makes me a true bike commuter. Now my wife has to let me up my bike budget to afford a Volpe. Its for my own safety!

    Glad that you made it thru (mostly) unscathed.

    It’s better for your heart to race with exercise rather than stress!

    This is along the lines of what I was thinking. My commute is, by far, the biggest stress relief in my day.
