I'm liking the Tokyo more the more I ride it. For instance, I felt that the gearing was too low, but as I re-learn my riding skills, I'm using lower gears and increasing my cadence - more revs for the same speed. Then when I shift to higher gears, I'm going faster. I passed a radar speed indicator on a downhill today - 17MPH - not bad. And I've pretty much solved my problem with the seatpost slipping, so I'm riding at the proper height - sure makes it easier.

Riding in the DC area is great. The new memorial to the Pentagon victims of 9/11/2001 was at the beginning of my trip from Pentagon to Rosslyn, As I was passing the carillion, it was playing. I could see the Potomac and the monuments from several spots along the way. The return trip wasn't as picturesque, but Shirlington is a nice town center type development, lots of people out for a pleasent Saturday, sidewalk cafes, and lots of bikes. Shirlington is the start of the W&OD trail and the connection to the Four Mile Run trail which leads to the Mt. Vernon trail. I didn't see any folders but mine, though.
