I wish I could have ridden, but have a nasty head cold. I ended up taking Metro in today (crowded!) and timed it to compare with my bike commute. I hit every connection perfectly--walked from my house to an arriving train, made the transfer without waiting, didn't have to wait to cross the street.
Total Metro time: 35 minutes (normally 40+ minutes, sometimes up to an hour when there are problems)
Average bike commute time this week (my garage to parking parking garage): 41 minutes (14 ~ 15 mph pace)
Most days my bike commute is faster, not to mention infinitely more enjoyable than being jammed in a rail car with hundreds of my closest friends.
