    A bit of irony here.

    During Bike to Work Week, I drove one day (donated blood, no energy afterward) and DH had to drive twice.

    We just figured we were celebrating Alternate Transportation Week.

    The weather was beautiful here, I hope others took advantage.

    Indeed, I ironically took the day off. We don't have a whole lot formally going on - cheap coffee at four places and we sent out emails - so I don't even know how much happened. (We have a fair number of commuters already, anyway - I hope that *they* at least dropped in for the goodies!)

    Here are a couple of pictures that someone from work took.

    This one is kinda cool with the Capitol in the background. It shows a small part of the chaos that is Bike to Work day downtown.

    This is the DC mayor, Adrian Fenty. I like this picture because of his "Taxation Without Representation" jersey. (DC is trying to get a seat in the House of Representatives.) They gave away the Jamis Coda Comp in front of the podium.

    No fair!
    D.C. offers a cooler background for pix!
    Here's some folks in the Silver Spring stop and Mike, stumping for the Trek Lime.

    My first bike ride to work!

    I took advantage of the bike to work event to finally ride my bike to work. I was afraid I would have a hard time finding a route, but it was actually pretty easy. And I hitched onto the group of people who rode with the mayor of St. Paul for part of the way. The 14 miles out to the 'burbs took me 1:10 with three pretty good hills. On the way back, with a headwind it took the same amount of time.

    My co-workers all thought I was a superhero!

    Yay! I'm going to do it again.

    hey you were there too! awesome! that was such a great time for me. I don't know if you noticed but I was the kid wearing the jeans and black zip up with a white helmet. I was also riding a green bike. Where do you bike from?
