Nice to meet ya this morning, SpaceJockey! I could try a 7 am coffee at Velo Cafe sometime – maybe on a Monday as that’s a day that some of the forum members don’t go to coffee club (some go to Mike’s for pancakes, but I can never make that one).

I like your thinking here Dismal.

I have wondered recently about (something I’ve done) shoaling/passing to the front of cars at red lights. What do you all do? If streets are full and you’re on a bike, do you use your “bike privilege” and ride in between lanes or on the right (door zone) to get to the head of the crowd, or just wait a few light cycles like all the cars.(I was biking to Gallery Place after work…btw don’t do it!..and had this dilemma recently. The traffic was not moving).

I believe I squeezed by on the right of some cara but still was held up by some turning right but waiting for peds.

Maybe I should have sat at the back of all the cars and waited like a car?

And one caveat: in the past (2 years ago) when i went to PT at Novacare (used to be called something else), the therapist would do massage, evaluation, instruction, etc. Then someone else would walk me through the exercises I was prescribed.

This time, with Erin, she was with me the entire time (usually 45 mins), including while I did exercises, correcting my form, etc.

7+ hrs in the ER? Yikes. Hope you feel better soon, drevil.

Getting this thread back on track: a lot of people in the Women & Bicycles group recommend Rose PT, https://rosept.com/.

I hope Dr. Evil and Judd both feel better soon.

1. I went to Rose PT. They don’t process insurance claims, and the billing was complicated (for me). However, you do get one on one attention. It’s a fancy place in my opinion. But you can take your bike up!

2. I’ve been (for my back and my neck) to Novacare Rehab. 2021 K St., 202-293-1853. They process through insurance. Recently I saw Erin Longhurst and I’d recommend her. You don’t get one on one attention (sometimes your PT farms you out to a helper for the exercises), but I think they do solid work.

This is a fabulous thread. I had to look up “brevity comm”.

Route 1 -Patrick St. near (at least North of) King St. Heading North , the right lane is being repaved. Theres about a 2″ drop from the lane to the left. Take care when riding there.

It’s my lower back. And today I’m thinking 3 things – 1. Bike fit. 2. More gears …granny gears – might be needed. I really crawled up that hill. From what I’ve read, I should probably be able to pedal a lot on a hill. Instead I just pushed my (not core strong, old and tired) body. As if I were 25 and could do that without consequences. 3. Core work. It’s hard to believe but im still in pain…since Sat when It started.

Thanks Kitty! I do think I’ll get another bike fit after the muscle spasms die down! !
