^^^ I was gonna say, I didn't see any bike racks, just lots of portable fences and barricades..

I left the bike at home and walked. I live a block from the Senate, though, so distance wasn't an issue. I didn't leave home until almost 10, so I ended up following the herds through the middle of downtown, around the White House, then down to the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

I watched the oaths on the jumbotrons by the WWII memorial, listened to Obama's speech, then gradually made my way east once the crowds started to clear out.

So, now I'm off of my feet for the first time in 8 hours or so. Really a huge day here.
