I saw a well dressed gentleman lock this bike up at the NoMa Harris Teeter. It's a brand new Gary Fisher Simple City 3. It still has the sizing sticker on the seat post. I like the classic lines of the paint scheme. It also comes with a folding double-sided kickstand.
Another derpy blog post, another photo of a Linus bike. It's getting to the point I have to wonder if I'm taking photos of the same four bikes around town. A nice Roaster Sport in NoMa. I was able to take this photo and upload it courtesy of NoMa's new free outdoor wifi. Every 'hood in DC should offer this.
En route to a late-night group bike ride meeting point. Some random a-hole parking his car in the bike lane on Pennsylvania Ave NW. I did not blur out his license plate on purpuse. Eff you, buddy. He's from Maryland... of course.
I creepered up to this young lady and asked to take a photo of her on her bicycle. She said "You can, only if you tell me if my rear tire is flat." It was a little low, but nothing too bad. She's on a nice 1972 Columbia Sport III bicycle... three speed internal gear. Best thing about it, she got it off Craigslist for $60. Even better, turns out she was en route to same bike ride meeting point as she was a friend of one of the regular participants. So I didn't feel so bad about creepering up to her... but I need to work on my delivery. At least we have a new member to our Happy Bottom bike group.
Last, April is the 30 Days of Biking drive... pledge to ride every day in April, and for every 30 pledges, the organizer will donate a bike to a child via the Free Bikes 4 Kidz foundation. Amazingly, there is not a DC chapter, I may have to correct that and organize a chapter ride later this month... anyone up for a bike n brew? Anyways, sign up, but what can be better than giving a kid a free bike? Bike love!
