on the 14th Street Bridge headed to the Mount Vernon Trail



working a post work car-free route
connecting the Mount Vernon Trail to the Capital Crescent Trail 

then home
usually on the single speed geared for dirt to keep my speed down

when I ride my road bike... 
I do not race on the bike path
I do not draft on the bike path
I give audible warnings when I approach then make a fluid safe pass

if I am going to really break a sweat and make a serious effort
I keep it to the streets
