I very skillfully managed to get a new second hand bicycle/lock/helmet for $75! Got it today and immediately took for a test run. I haven't been on a bike since the good old teen years so this was somewhat nostalgic indeed. Anyway - if you are ever in DC I highly recommend you go to this place called The Mall (basically a big field). Not only does it contain the Capitol all the way to the Lincoln Memorial within view but there is probably every possible type of museum around there too...and they're all free! Top ones - the air and space museum and the natural history museum (you get to see big t rex skeletons, pretend to be an astronaut and wonder why you weren't born an ant because their lives seem so much better organized than yours).
Decided to have a good old fashioned hot dog as well (can't be in the States and not have a hot dog) and yes they do put the stereotypical mustard squiggle ontop of the sausage before handing it to you. Bike certainly has made commuting a lot easier and brought considerable attention. What I highly advise the young ladies though if you ever decide to bike around this city, if a couple of guys on bikes stop and ask "darlin' ya wanna trail with us?"....smile and keep going!
