He lives a 1/2 block from the Senate Office building where he works. I've seen him in front of his house a few times. 2 SUVs are often double-parked and idling in front of his house to take him somewhere. I don't know why 2 SUVs. That's like riding 2 bikes. You'll be happy to know that these SUVs, while stereotypical in that they have tinted windows and puffy, short-haired men in suits driving them, have some sort of green leaf eco-symbol on the back just under the Suburban XL symbol.J.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16905339190582667396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655972254756722998.post-55947225649776118212012-09-20T11:37:24.000-04:002012-09-20T11:37:24.000-04:00There are signs at Vermont and H Street .... just ...There are signs at Vermont and H Street .... just not what you expect. The large wayfinding blue sign on the south side of H street clearly shows the bike route. In fact, the route appears on both sides of the sign. The sign, however, is too high for a biker to notice. Also there are at least three other destinations on the sign so the clutter makes it hard too.
