I assume he's saying what the Park Ranger told us when he kicked us out of the memorial: "No bikes allowed!"

My first time on the Cycletracks in downtown DC, too: they implemented them after I retired & quit commuting to downtown DC. I'd ridden on those streets before, of course, but it was rather strange riding in the left-most lane on Pennsylvania Ave. Of course, there was almost no traffic, either bicycle or motor vehicle. Joan neglected to mention another of the highlights of the ride: two chain breaks (same rider, same chain, broke twice) with accompanying roadside repairs. Joan had a multi-tool with a decent chain tool attachment that saved the day. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
