I hope it'll be somewhat helpful. <br /><br />Wednesday morning multiple people saw my helmet and expressed surprise at my dryness. Raingear! It's miraculous! Also, I spent the day at the White House, but didn't get to use the secret Bikeshare.

I currently have Bells Two Hearted Ale in my basement kegerator (best wedding present ever and quite an enhancement to the life of a parent). Jon may have had two of them...in fact, he'd be irrational not to have two at that discount level (Jon, where is this Lou's?), but it's not a certainty.J.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16905339190582667396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655972254756722998.post-71544236706283217192011-12-07T17:03:14.445-05:002011-12-07T17:03:14.445-05:00@BW- No point in going forward with the movie then...@BW- No point in going forward with the movie then. <br />@ultrarunnergirl- BUTTON HAPPY HOUR indeed. Because people don't have enough awkward social obligations in their life already. Though I suppose this one would be voluntary, so that's good. Rain riding, if you can muster the swagger, can indeed make you feel like a badass. But it can also just make you feel wet.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336664610270023779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655972254756722998.post-83724576935845208522011-12-07T16:53:38.232-05:002011-12-07T16:53:38.232-05:00BUTTON HAPPY HOUR!!

Maybe not so much, I guess. I've never forgotten a whole change of clothes, though I forget my socks about once a week, but I can normally soldier through that. I'm glad you said something to Architectural Testing and I'm glad he figured out what to do, even if it was in something less than legal. I'm still not going to patronize their business, but mostly because I have absolutely no need.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336664610270023779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655972254756722998.post-25850490132116892322011-12-07T14:01:35.626-05:002011-12-07T14:01:35.626-05:00Yesterday I thought about donating at the "TF...Yesterday I thought about donating at the "TFTS blogs my ride" level. Good thing I didn't (yet) - especially if we had decided to ride together today because I actually had to do my commute twice on the way to work. (I forgot my change of clothes and didn't notice until I was block from the end of my 4-mile commute... I'm only half the commuter that you are, but I'm going to be twice as wet since I didn't pack a dry set for the ride home).<br /><br />I saw Architectural Testing on Phase 2 of my commute this morning (the ride back home). I asked the driver if he was going to move out of the lane. He looked confused. Then I showed him how all the other cars on 15th park outside of the pylons. He still looked confused. Then I noticed that he had a Pennsylvania license plate, so I told him that I used to live in Philly and I know his frame of reference for the "parkability" of bike lanes. He laughed knowingly. We had a moment. It was cute. "So I can park anywhere - just as long as it's outside the bike lane?" "Yup".<br /><br />On Phase 3 of my commute he had moved the van to the outside of the pylons - smack between two "no parking" signs. You can lead a horse to water...Kyle G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01225606574769198795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655972254756722998.post-67392468447058222802011-12-07T13:59:07.005-05:002011-12-07T13:59:07.005-05:00As much as I love bike-commuting, I am not sad tod...As much as I love bike-commuting, I am not sad today that I'm working (if you can call it that) at home with my elder daughter who isn't in school because of parent-teacher conferences. As much as I love bike-commuting, it pales in comparison with lunch at Lou's with half-price Two Hearted drafts.<br /><br />When you do the button-selling bar event, I definitely want to be involved.Jonhttps://www.manfredmacx.comnoreply@blogger.com
