Washington DC is the best city in the world to cycle in.
Light traffic, wide sidewalks, short distances between the main sites and plenty of green open spaces make it a joy to get around the nation's capital on two wheels.
I've rented a bone-shaker from Better Bikes. I can't exactly recommend the company -- my bike arrived dirty and I could probably have bought the thing twice over for less than I'm paying in rental, but even so, on a glorious bright early Autumn day like today I was glad to have it.
I can't gain access until the morning to begin rigging for election night so I spent the day cheering on some friends who were competing in the Marine Corps Marathon.
First stop was the 14 mile mark near Capitol Hill before heading over to the finish line in Arlington.
So, congratulations to:

Glad to see you have a bit of free time to enjoy Washington. It is truly a beautiful city. If you have not visited before, be sure to experience the solemn reverence of the Vietnam Wall Memorial. Those 55,000 names speak to the futility of war.

Mr. Blogger,
How come you look different all the time?
Your photos, I mean :-)
This one doesn't look like these "Photo 2,Photo 3" from LA, Oct. 20th. And it certainly doesn't look like the one with a lady in a wheelchair, Sept. 20th.
It wouldn't be a surprise.
The next time you show up;
You have blossoms pop on your nose :-)
Have a blossom election day :-)
