I didn't say it's anti-social to bike commute.  I said it's anti-social to be "that guy" who bikes down River Road at rush hour.  I love bike commuting, did it for years (on bike lanes and lesser-trafficked surface streets.)  It's anti-social to bike down the middle of a fast-moving artery with no bike lane at rush hour. And it does not help the cause of building up a biking culture one single bit, because either annoys the drivers or makes bike commuting look like something only maniacs do.  [/quote]

So if you want to bike to work from Potomac, during normal commuting hours, what are you supposed to do?

You build up a biking culture by biking. You don't build up a biking culture by not biking, or by biking where only other people on bikes can see you. The more people bike on River Road during normal commuting hours, the more normal people will consider biking on River Road during normal commuting hours to be. And the safer it will be, too.[/quote]

If you insist you have to bike to work at all costs, then you should chose a home location that allows you to do that.  You are NOT building up a bike culture by biking on River Road.  I'm sorry, you're just not.  It's a highly trafficked artery without room for a heaving volume of bikes.  [/quote]
