Today the Washcycle blog turns four years old, which is 28 in human years. Interestingly, the very second blog post dealt with the Bike Station at Union Station. That will open on Friday, almost four years to the day after that post.
Numbers:
As of last year: 1889 posts, 3865 comments, 444558 total page views (roughly 1200 hits a day)
As of this year: 3164 posts, 7439 comments, 836095 total page views (roughly 1450 hits a day)
Next year we'll have to do a happy hour.
Congrats on blog's success. I still appreciate it, even though I've moved to bicycling Mecca of Vienna, Austria

Why wait until next year to do a happy hour?

I've only found the blog in the last year, but it's been a great and enjoyable resource for getting up to speed with and staying abreast of cycling-related developments in the DC area and more generally. Thanks for a great blog!!!

Keep up the good work!

Congrats on 4 years! Are you going to be at the Forum on Bike Culture and Policies in Denmark[1] tonight? If so I'd be happy to buy you a drink afterward. :)

Excellent work coupled with a dose or two of entertainment. Great utility for DC-area bikers, even us suburbanite sometime-commuters.
Cheers and congrats!
