Truck pulled in to "protected" cycletrack outside Swings. MPD officer biked past and had to salmon the main travel lane but didn't even glance at the truck. This is why we can't have nice things #bikeDC

Guess I’m not biking this way today. The bike trail under the railroad at Lake Artemesia is completely flooded.

Bike to every station on the DC Metro Orange Line in my latest bike transit video! I last did a video of this 11 years ago (this one’s much better)

Thanks so much to the driver of DC tag JD 2111 for punish passing me at 14th and Nicholson NW for DARING to take the lane for that stretch where they reserve subsidized parking for rich people at the expense of the bike lane #bikeDC

Today’s bad drivers: the guy who ran a light and then honked at the pedestrians who actually had a signal (didn’t almost hit me though); the limo driver doing a three point turn who blindly backed into the opposite bike lane in front of a stopped shuttle bus (had to come to a complete stop not to hit him). #BikeDC

I guess one might call that "repaired" #bikeDC

An indentation in the pavement in the middle of the bike lane, with the "cliff" parallel to the direction of travel, making it very dangerous for cyclists. There's a rad DC rainbow painted on the pavement next to the bike laneSame spot as the other photo but now the indentation has been sloppily filled with rocks loosely glued together

Let's try this again... Made a timelapse of my bike ride into work through DC (Prince George's County, Maryland -> DC -> Arlington County, Virginia).
16 miles.
Mostly trails and bike paths.
Through the monuments and National Mall.

Scenes from my bike commutes in May. Trading a car commute for a Brompton has been the best decision for my mental health #bikedc

I had a wonderful ride with @swiderski, @bryan_s_hart and other members of the #bikedc community at tonight's #RideOfSilence. It sucks that we have to come together under these circumstances, but it warms my heart to have a community such as ours to pay respects alongside.

That bike ride was poorly timed. #BikeDC
A selfie of a man in a soaking wet blue t-shirt with an illustration of a T-Rex and the text “reach for the starts.” The man’s shorts are also soaked on the front. His helmet and glasses are covered in droplets. By his right hand you can just see part of his bike’s handlebars.

Bike to Work Day was a success. It was a beautiful afternoon on my return!

I experimented with using my phone to do a timelapse of the return trip. Ended up not having the mount angled right for half the trip and it's way too fast, but if you're curious:

@APBBlue Just rename it to “Bike-to-Anywhere-Day” and carry on. #BTWD2025 #BikeDC #BikeTooter

First rain bike commute today. Need to figure out how to keep rain off my glasses and remember to pack a dry set of shoes, but otherwise its okay.

I'm organizing a silly Taco Ride in DC this Saturday. It's a super casual, no-drop, self-supported ride that hits three of my favorite taquerias in the DC area. Each stop is near a metro, and there's a bonus ice cream stop at the end. I hope you all can come! partiful.com/e/UwlERG8nJfnGVIn

Sold my trainer bike yesterday, since I no longer have space for a bike trainer setup (and the apartment building has a gym with stationary bikes). We are now back down to (counts on fingers) having 4 bikes in the apartment.

I'm on the fence about selling the gravel bike, but am emotionally attached to my road bike. Carl is keeping his ebike and the brompton is my commuter. So we'll have at least 3 for the foreseeable future.

Commuting on the brompton (to the green line) is fun and I'm enjoying it! #bikeDC #metro #commute
