This thread is generating more responses than the one in NE, even though Songfta posted a few questions in his response there directed at DC commuters, an obvious attempt to gain traffic. Honestly Rudi, Dupont to Georgetown is not a commute.
Baltimore is probably more of a typical southern city than DC.
While this thread has more replies, they are pretty evenly split, not surprisingly, given that DC sits on the border of what most of us see as North or South. I didn't think much about it when I started a thread about DC in this sub-forum, if it gets moved, that's OK with me. DC will be kicking ass wherever you put us. Recently named #3 US city for biking by Bicycling Magazine after Portland and Boulder! Take that East Coasters, nor and sou. Ha!
