Love Bike to Work Day! Best one I ever participated in was when I lived in Crystal City and worked in DC. Good stuff. Would still be a Bike to Worker if well:
1. I ever settled on a job (still have my fingers crossed for this one). :) and
2. If I ever worked somewhere that had showers.

Someday...................

I think I could bike my fat ass from Springfield to Arlington. Granted I have to leave at two in morning to make it there on time.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Those of you that don't own bikes....I highly recommend that you pick one up. Pardon the soapbox but it's a great way to get out and see some sights that you otherwise wouldn't see....and you can appreciate them more at 10-15 mph as oppposed to 100-150 mph. :twisted:

Is good stuff, and I'd love to ride with any of you on any of the fantastic trails that this area has to offer. I've got a mountain bike and a road bike....terrain is up to you. :)

that's right folks....Osiros is a cycling geek.....

Just bought a bike from a buddy, and I live about a mile from The Trail and work about 20' from it. :) Might have to try this summer. :)

I might have a 21-speed with grip-shifters that I'm willing to part with....I'll probably be down in the DC area before May

Correction. I do have a 21-speed schwinn that i'm looking to get rid of. grip shifters. forest-green. Acceptable condition....It's been used. I'd be willing to let it go for fairly cheap.
