D.C.Suburbs
Greetings from the 'burbs of Washington, D.C. I work for one of those infamous D.C. agencies that end in a vowel and live outside of the district. It is just too crowded, expensive, and not conducive to cycling.
I have two bikes, a Lemond Zurich I just purchased and a Specialized Crosswind I "borrowed" from my wife. She bought it a few years ago for herself, rode it about twice, and it sat in the garage for two years until I decided to give it try. I did, I loved it, and decided to get myself a real bike and got the Zurich.

Welcome to the forums. Looks like the DC area population has grown quite a bit and I'm just now noticing. Hopefully I'll see you and your new bike out an about.

Welcome aboard. I live in McLean and take the trails to DC to work, where I too am a federal employee.

I only know one other guy who has a Zurich, and it is a 2003 model, and I only see him once very few weeks.
Perhaps you are the resident paranoid?

Welcome. I am flying to DC tomorrow, staying 4 nights at the Marriott Crystal City, then on to Florida then to the USVI (St Johns) for 8 days. From what I can discern there is NO biking in St Johns, but there is in St Croix.
