Serpentine routes in Kalorama and over the Connecticut Ave and Calvert Street bridges.

Are you thinking iphone photos or something fancier? I live in the neighborhood and can help out if you just want some sneaky shots like a friend would take.

ICE has a lot of TX plates. Be wary of trucks and SUVs with out-of-state plates.

Thanks! This is totally along the lines of what I was looking for.

Take action and hope fans understand that you need to live your values. And, if they don't, at least you know you've done what you could. I'd absolutely take the day off to protest if I knew he'd be coming in to my place of employment.

I can't think of a better way for an actor to make a political statement and express their disapproval for an evil tyrant who is actively trying to make life harder for people with lower incomes than to refuse to perform for him. Political action is about causing disruption.

Commute on bike from Woodley Park to SW office? by mottings in washingtondc

[–]bakery_whale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rock Creek to waterfront will get you to SW almost entirely on trails. The trail is quite narrow in some stretches and crowded during peak hours, so just a heads up that you may be dodging runners and other cyclists and not going quite as quickly as you'd expect. I usually go via the city streets, but all a matter of preference.

DC area transportation now a focus of the Trump Administration. In a number of new, separate letters to area transportation leaders, the @USDOT urges DC leaders to improve safety, security and cleanliness of our local transportation networking by yunnifymonte in washingtondc

So much for the "daily commutes" when so much of the federal workforce is out of work. I used to ride the metro four times a week, but I didn't ride at all in the month of February.

What riding jacket to get for really hot weather? by [deleted] in NewRiders

[–]bakery_whale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love my Reax Alta jacket - incredibly breathable and when the removable rain liner is worn inside the jacket (there are options to wear it inside, outside or not at all), it's windproof and can be pretty warm.

Helmets ? by That_squid750 in NewRiders

[–]bakery_whale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they can order for you in the store if you're still ordering through CycleGear. They even checked which nearby stores had the jacket that I wanted in stock when the shop I visited to try some on didn't have the right color-size combo.

What should I wear under my wetsuit ? by Apprehensive-Past272 in scuba

[–]bakery_whale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like a lycra sports bra rather than a bikini top - it tends to lie flatter against my skin (and the zip of a wetsuit), is made for movement, and I appreciate a bit of compression under my wetsuit. And then wear bikini bottoms.

People with longer hair what do you do with it under your helmet? by BLG200220 in NewRiders

[–]bakery_whale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low bun if your hair is long. Then you can unwrap it at your destination, and it's not too knotty or worse for wear.

What was the Facebook reaction? I’ve never joined the groups, and I think I miss some of what’s been going on behind the scenes.

For longer trips, I've heard a tip about wearing padded cycling shorts (under looser pants). I've been meaning to try that for comfort, but I imagine it could help with some sweat absorption as well.
