Bike In Bloom Destiny
One lesson I keep relearning is that you can’t work too hard to make things happen. You can put your shoulder into something only so much. After that, other factors must play a role. Nowhere in my life is this more true than with Capital Bikeshare‘s elusive Bike In Bloom. In concert with the annual… Continue reading

D.C. Commute Scenes: Capital Bikeshare and True Love
The throngs of tourists combined with the rising temps make mornings the best time to ride in the city these days.

Inclement Winter Days and Capital Bikeshare

En route to my station, however, I noticed that the roads were wet but clear, the rain/sleet/snow was not falling too furiously,… Continue reading

Capital Bikeshare Makes Life Better
In my efforts to avoid Metro and breathe in the fresh Washington, D.C., air as much as possible, I’ve started riding Capital Bikeshare more frequently. Bikeshare is awesome! I just run over to the station nearest me, plug in my key to get a bike, yank the bike out as hard as I can, and… Continue reading
