I am assuming this machine is responsible for the glasslike surface of the MVT between the airport and 4MR split.

THANK YOU!!!!

When I rode through there yesterday morning (~6:30), there were cones blocking a lane on Langston, but the trail was clear. I took the long way home, so can not comment on how it was yesterday afternoon.

I take my dog on quite a few bike adventures. She is relatively small (less than 40 pounds), so she has options. She can backpack, trailer, or run along with us on mountain bike trails (still in training as she still gets a little deaf when other dogs are around).

How large is the dog? Assuming it is a standard guide dog lab/retriever, the backpack will probably not work, so your best bet is a trailer. We have a Burley Tail Wagon (haha, I love a good pun!) but the weigh limit on it is relatively light at 70 pounds. If you guys are near Falls Church (or could get there), I am happy to let you take ours for a test ride if the pup is under 70 pounds.

If the trailer will not work (due to weight limits or the dog just not wanting to be confined), you can use a bike-canine specific tow leash to attach to the tandem. I would recommend the Bike Tow Leash for this. While we have not tried it ourselves (it is on the list of things to buy and try), I have heard really good things about it. Link for info is here.

Hopefully this helps!

That was my very first b(oat)ike to work day in the DC area! Wow. Time really does move quickly these days.

Looking forward to my first Bike to Work Day at my new job. Hitting up the “unofficial” Falls Church stop at 6:30, then heading to the Rosslyn and Georgetown stops.

Dane and I will be there!

When my SRAM AXS 1x setup croaks in the middle of a ride, does that count as single-speed?

Only the half that you are single speeding it!

This is why I have an extra battery. (But usually just ride my single speed anyway… *shrug*)

Things have not even been frozen long enough to get out for a ride. *sigh*

I have been trying to get some quality single speed gravel, though.

Same!

To reset frozen Garmin devices, you normally just need to hold the power button for 10+ seconds.

Otherwise, toss it and buy a Wahoo Bolt.

Riding singlespeed fell out of fashion years ago

Wait. What? When did that happen? No one told me about that!

Thanks. I’m not clear on how the rides are calculated, by human or machine. They automatically get marked as ZWIFT, so no human would mistake them for a ride outdoors. If a machine needs to see the specific tag, that’s another matter.

There is no need to do anything with Zwift rides. They will automatically be tagged by Strava as indoor trainer rides.

I love that this two year old thread got reinvigorated by a spam account.

Whoops. Hahahaha. I guess I should pay more attention.

I have biked around with Willow (dog) in a Burley trailer. Folks, especially in cars, generally give us more space and get quite excited to see a puppy being towed in a trailer. I think as long as you use common sense and are extremely predictable, you will be fine with the kiddo in a trailer.

Has anyone succesfully carried a mini pump and mini tool in their carry on luggage?
The TSA website says small tools and bicycle pumps are allowed in carry on luggage.
Thanks.

Yep. Just make sure that the multi-tool does not have any sort of blade on it.
