As if everyone can ride a bike, lol.[/quote]

Rainy, snowy days pose challenges to that plan.[/quote]

DC isn't really that big.  It's only 10 miles on a side.  You can go a lot of places just by walking, and even farther by bike.  I live and work in DC, my office is 2 miles from my house, it's an enjoyable 37 minute walk, plus or minus.  I walk it just about every day, unless there's sideways rain and 50 mile per hour winds.  I love walking around DC, I regularly walk 5 to 7 mile loops around the Tidal Basin, Hains Point, National Mall and Monuments, Capitol Hill etc.  And I'm not exactly athletic, I'm fat, old, and have bad knees, destroyed by soccer, skiing and cross country running in my youth.  Baffles me to see people younger and healthier than me hopping in their cars or moaning about even if it's just a mile or two they have to go.[/quote]
