Tuesday Morning Commute - T-shirt

Good morning

• If you ride across the new 11th Street Bridge, you'll notice a shift to the sidewalk on the south side as they get ready to open the ramp from 295 tomorrow night.
• Is wearing a Capital Bikeshare shirt while riding Capital Bikeshare like wearing a band's concert shirt to their concert? [Don't be that guy]
• Speaking of CaBi, August stats are in. They set a new record with 214,785 trips in August, up 53% since last year.
• Get a deal on a biking and camping trip.

Typo in your biking and camping trip deal link.

Thanks. I fixed it.

"Is wearing a Capital Bikeshare shirt while riding Capital Bikeshare like wearing a band's concert shirt to their concert?"

No.

Difference: You pick out clothes to wear at a concert. You ride CaBi when it's convenient in whatever clothes you decided to wear all day.

If you are the sort who rides CaBi a lot, and/or would wear a CaBi T-shirt, it is likely that you don't really care about being the height of cool.

Riding over the 11th street bridge last week, the first thing I thought of was "these at grade crossings are going to suck with the freeway on/off traffic"

A real hipster would wear a Smartbike t-shirt.

Kolohe: the hipster would also ride a Smart Bike converted into a fixie, and proclaim how he was into this before it became cool. CaBi is "so corporate."

I wonder if you can get appropriately ironic hipster headgear.

The "don't be that guy" quote brings me back to high school. Thanks for the memory! I don't remember what movie it was from, but me and my friends would often repeat the whole quote after we saw the movie. And needless to say that movie taught us to NEVER wear the shirt of the band we were going to see.

Brilliant! Thanks for the laugh.
