Lolz @ The Mall;you know people besides tourists live here?

DC is very hilly;all my friends who were into fixies have since gone back to gears now that they're getting older. My 3spd Hooli is purely a toy,my old 3spd Otis was just a run around on bike as well.

Most of the bike commuters I see around here ride around or into/out of the city. There are some folks who multi-mode between the Metro(subway) and biking,but they're pretty rare as it's a PITA to take even folding bikes on the trains during rush hour. Looking at suburb stations like Falls Church,people seem to prefer biking to Metro and then taking the train in. Many downtown stations are only a couple blocks from where they work(Metro was specifically designed to move govt workers in/out of the city),so they don't need to ride for that last leg.
