    I loosened them up, but Im having a problem with the twisting motion. It feels unnatural. This video suggests pushing the heel down before twisting.

    You can buy mostmstuff on amazon and get the best prices. And yes, the more expensive stuff is worth it. Your privates will thank you for it.

    First of all, the police was trying to determine if the witness actually WITNESSESED the accident. Not the aftermath.

    Second, if if you were in the crosswalk with a green pedestrian light, the you probably had right of way. I’m saying probably because I don’t know if being in the saddle has any bearing. Assuming it doesn’t, then as long as you were in the crosswalk area, it shouldn’t matter if you were in the left or right portion of the crosswalk.

    If the above were true, I would try to contact the driver and get them to pay for your bike repair. They might be happy to do this and avoid having their insurance find out about this incident.

    This almost happened to me a few nights ago in Georgetown on M St. I was farther back (or moving more slowly) and stopped in time, with no accident. When you are passing stopped cars splitting the lane or on the right, the burden is on you to watch and protect yourself from this. I would never expect an occupant of a car to look back before opening a door. It is not as if you are in a (poorly-designed) bike lane.

    I agree with DS. In this situation the burden is on the cyclist. I think a true dooring is when you get nailed from a parked car, who has the duty not to open their doors without disregard for traffic.

    Get off the Custis after the Rosslyn hill and make a left onto Vietch.
    Make a right onto Key Blvd.

    From here you can pick up Washington Blvd to the WOD or you can hop onto Fairfax and make a left after Glebe to catch the Bluemont Junction trail.

    I wore the goofy ankle bracelet today just because.

    Why is your saddle wearing a green panty?

    Colored bar tape. Red would be good.

    I spent about an hour with a heat gun and de-badged the CC. I’ll get some red tape when I sweat through this set.

    I should take a can of paint out and mark up a few more areas to be resurfaced :)
