Inaugural Bike Valet
To disable ads, please log-in.
Urban Velo strikes again (anyone who's not following that blog really should) with a blurb about WABA's intent to set up a bike valet for Inauguration Day. Sounds like a terrific idea for anyone who wants to brave chaos to attend.
"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."

My fear is that all the tourists are gonna break Metro so badly that none of us regular commuters will be able to get to work on Wednesday, either."How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road?

I'll be coming back from skiing near Salt Lake that Tuesday... skiing vs. historic inauguration, easy choice.
