Proffit Road, depending on how far he took it, is a challenging classic Virginia little road, no shoulders, very winding, some good ups & downs, and not too much auto traffic, but yet enough to keep your eye on your Take-a-Look mirror every three seconds. If he rode it all the way to Stony Point Road (Route 20), that's a challenging little 5.5 mile workout, and then either you turn around, or take Route 20, which is not for the feint of heart, or maybe he took a different, smaller road to make his circuit. School is back in session, so all the UVA students and their parents are here delivering counter height refrigerators, and buying out the local Harris Teeter grocery store. I saw one student (riding in the evening) with a white light on both the front AND back of his bike; I shouted through my open passenger window, "The white one goes on the front!", but don't know that he heard me. To summarize, they are still riding bikes in C'ville.<br /><br />BTW, a lot of flights into CHO come from Charlotte, North Carolina's Charlotte Douglas International Airport, otherwise known as CLT. I didn't know CLT was so big, but I've recently coined the phrase that Charlotte has its own pet airport in Charlottesville, i.e., CLT has a pet airport, CHO.<br /><br />Back at home base in Washington, D.C. I can attest that bicycles are also being ridden and locked to stationery (stationary? Which is which?) objects.<br /><br />On the downside, in the luxury area where I live, Georgetown, I nevertheless first smelled the stench, and then found the culprit, a dead rat being ground into the gutter, between my frontage and my neighbor's frontage. I didn't want to put the stinking thing in my garbage can, set out to be emptied tomorrow morning. Should I endeavor to sneak it into my neighbor's can? He stole my trashcan last week, and it was only after much sleuthing and sneaking that I retrieved my proper trashcan, so maybe I have a reason? Do you know, D.C., despite all its problems, has trash and recycling cans registered by serial number to each residence, and I found both those cans in my neighbor's parking area? What gives, neighbor?<br /><br />Again, to summarize, bicycles are still being used and ridden in Washington, D.C.<br /><br />That concludes this update,<br /><br />Dave Pearce,<br />Assistant Regional Manager, Mid-Atlantic Division,<br />Bike Snob NYC International, LLCDavid Pearcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580599628294869568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-11951113980424176182014-08-25T11:12:39.058-04:002014-08-25T11:12:39.058-04:00Yes Spokey, you have earned the title Quingentius ...Yes Spokey, you have earned the title Quingentius Spokeyus, with all rights and privileges thereof.BamaPhrednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-91574649419896843462014-08-25T11:08:19.861-04:002014-08-25T11:08:19.861-04:00What?
