I'm getting a bike
I think I'm breaking up with the red line and getting a bike. I'm done with the rush hour delays that will probably go on for the next two years. I would probably bike half way then take the bus the rest of the way to work because AU sits on top of a huge hill. I'm not sure if I'll survive riding down Michigan Ave and through Adams Morgan but dammit I'm willing to take that chance. I'll probably head down to Arlington after work Friday and check out the used bike shop. I've already placed an ad on freecycle and browsed Craigslist. I thought about stealing my sister's bike but it needed too much work and for the money I would have spent I'd rather get my own.

Also, while browsing websites and blogs on biking in DC I found out about the original metro line that ran through Dupont and other parts of the city. No wonder the Dupont Metro station is so far underground - there's an old station right on top of it. I thought it was pretty neat.

Try asking Greg. He works a bike shop. I'll send you a .pdf he gave me of used bike sale they host once a month on a Sat.

If you bike to work you gotta factor in that you'll smell sweaty gross when you get to work. I don't know about you but for me, stinking up the office and having my peers hold their breath for 8 hours is far too embarrassing.

Well it's only me and my boss in the office and he usually shuts his door so I shouldn't have that much of a problem. Plus I'm only biking half way and will be able to cool off in the bus. And Greg's shop doesn't sell used bikes during the months of July and August.
