Friday was bike to work day. For me it is often bike to not work day. I participate in the activities but take the day off. You can go here and see pics taken by the WABA crew. I am in one of them. Can you find me?
Update with a hint: It is the second half. I am wearing a yellow jersey and if I didn’t know it was me I am not sure I would have recognized it.

He has researched this on the web. He says he can get a gym membership for a place to shower. He will live on non-perishable dry goods and eat out.
I told him that we should put this out as a poll so his siblings and family and friends could weigh in.
So go ahead, leave a comment and vote.
Loading ...One of my favorite bicycle blogs to visit is Copenhagen Chic.
Check this great video from the site. Just don’t get them started on bicycle helmets.

This was the Washington Monument one recent morning during my ride to work at 6:00 AM.
I liked how the top just disappeared into the clouds and fog.
