As you know, it’s Bike to Work month and the DC office is kicking butt. Today is no different, especially because it is national Bike to Work day. I counted 19 bicycles in the office, and that doesn’t include those people who parked outside or used Capital Bikeshare bikes (there is a station right outside the office).  BTWD is practically religion in our office.  First question everyone asks is, what swag did you get?!  This is immediately followed by, “oh, I went to a different pit stop, we didn’t get that!”  Today my top swag item was a “Bike Arlington” reflective vest, one-size-fits-giant-people.

I think you could fit two to three of me in this...and I'm a pretty average height/weight American gal.

So…for those of you who were wondering how our four teams of BTW racers make it into the office, I’ve included a quick photo gallery of “the bikes of washington, DC.” Yes, they are scattered all over the office. (We do have nice bike racks in our loading dock, but had a little security issue earlier this year - thus, very few people actually park there!).

Great day, great event.  I especially love this day because I’m not the slowest biker on the trails.  Usually I get passed by twice as many people as I pass. Today was the exact opposite. I know it’s a fluke, but it made me feel really fit   Happy cycling to everyone.
