Gentle Reminder for Every Week

[Guiny]

I'm so proud of eddie   :roll:  
 
 Anyways, I'd rather drive the twenty minutes or less from Arlington then take the hour metro tour. Since I'm sure i'd have to switch trains at least once and that could be a 15-20 minute wait if I'm lucky. Nah, I'll just drive and laugh at all the people walking, jogging, roller blading, crawling, hand walking, para sailing, being sling shot, taking a cab, riding the Metro or riding their bikes to the club.

Damn does this mean I need to find another way to get to the club from Richmond?  Is it OK if I still drive to the shows I bring the kids to?   :p

Biking is tre gay.

Don't worry, I sometimes lie in bed at night softly suddering too.

My gentle reminder is more for the lurkers who are probably coming to shows over the next 4 days so they don't get hosed on the drive into town.  
 As for driving vs biking,  whatever makes sense for people is exactly what they should do.  Biking makes more sense for me usually, but sometimes driving is better.  I will be driving tonight to go to the suburbs.    I prefer to be in a car when getting in accidents involving other cars.
 In response to the bike locking safety factor here at the club,  one of the guys that works here had his bike stolen after leaving it locked to a signpost out front overnight.  It is the signpost by the alley that no longer has a sign on top of it.  Other than that I think bikes have been pretty safe on our block.  If the upside down u rack and the remaining sign posts are full you can lock down to the raailing by the Backbar stairs.

What's a girl to do?

frankly, i wish there was a way i could get to and from the club without a car, as i like to drink. alot. $25 cab rides are about the only option as i live in that big section of virginia that looks like a metro station should be there, but there isn't one. but...i also don't see why everyone is getting so crazy about chimbly's post. lighten up folks
 
 actually bus/metroed into the city today for a conference. i was of course stuck waiting in balston for a bus for like 45 minutes. also, i don't know how the suitwearers in the area do it. i sweated so much today

Because we had the exact same discussion last week and it quickly devolved into chimbly stating that all suburbanites were evil, selfish, horrible people, determined to kill everyone who lives in the city - all because they don't want to ride their bikes from Vienna to the club.

Guys, guys.  Come on.  I know we'll never live in my ideal world, and yes, I have explored my citizenship options for Norway.  
 
 I do think it's important to encourage people to use alternatives and to constantly remind people that all that traffic crap is actually something you *chose* to get involved in.  Americans just forget that nobody held a gun to their head and forced them to live far from other transit.  There are options.

It is impossible for every human being to live next to a transit.
