I’m in the Nation’s Capital for a few days. My wife is working, while I check out the sites with the baby. Some people would call that parenting.
Looks like a lot of bike commuting here with people in their K street attire heading to the office. A lot of no helmets and side walk riding around DuPont Circle, where we’re staying. Got a glimse at one of the bike sharing racks. It’s weird being in DC as a tourist and not running from 17 divisions of bike cops for some large scale demonstration.
Hiya! Your blog showed up in one of my Google Alerts about biking in DC and I just thought I’d shoot you an email about getting on a bike while you’re in town. We offer bike tours as well as rentals. Sounds like you may have been down here enough not to need a tour, but if you want to get on two wheels while you are here, we have bikes – and we have a burley for the baby.
Hopefully, you have also seen our locations around NYC…
Just thought I’d throw it out to you.

How do you get the bikes off the rack? Is there a place to pay? If you want to see idiots on bikes come a couple of hours southwest of DC to Harrisonburg and check out the morons riding without helmets and no lights after dark.
I live in DC, and to be specific in Dupont Circle. Welcome, I hope you brought your bike. The pavement here calls to all but really smoothly accommodates the fixed.
