Alright! I am moving to DC in 7 days. Gads. I think I will have to ship my bike down there. Maybe I will buy a new- I mean used one. Maybe I will learn to walk. Maybe not.
Anyways I will be living in the Georgetown neighborhood and would enjoy biking with others once I get that whole bike in another state conundrum arranged.

First, my condolences for having to move here.
On the positive, you're moving into the city, which is much better than the traffic-congested surrounding areas. Even though G'town is crowded, you'll be able to metro or walk just about anywhere. You'll have a lot of fun exploring. There's a lot to do/see. I really love the city---DH and I occasionally talk about selling the house & getting a condo in DC, but with three goldens and my current commute to Dulles, it wouldn't be feasible.
Do you have a 'cross or mountain bike? The C&O canal towpath is in your neighborhood (gravel/dirt surface). Also, you can ride in Rock Creek Park; cross the river and take the Mt. Vernon Trail south or Custis west to ride in VA; and the MD ladies will be able to chime in w/lots of good riding venues on their side of the Potomac.
I'm in Arlington, right across the river from you.
Be prepared for HOT/HUMID weather, too. We're in the midst of a string of typical August DC weather!!Last edited by Velobambina; 08-02-2007 at 11:47 PM.

Oh cool, another addition to the TE-DC contingency! Welcome, madscot
We're gonna have to ride together sometime so I can figure out which kind of 'mad' you are 
And lucky you, living in G'town with two (or is it three??) bike shops nearby!"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Welcome to the area. We always welcome new additions to the TE-DC group. Hopefully we'll meet on a ride real soon!
