The Summer Solstice Ride is tonight and I will be there, and Capital Bikeshare Girl might be there (actually I have no idea of her plans, but I like to oversell).
- The DC Bike Trail Rangers program starts on Monday. They'll provide an extra set of eyes, tools, first aid kits and even occassional cleaning.
- I think the better message is - clean up after your horses.
- DC did not make this list of the 20 most bike friendly cities in the World, but the photo that goes with it was taken at Farragut Square.
- The Vienna Town Council on June 17 agreed to disband the Vienna Transportation Safety Commission’s (TSC) bicycle advisory committee and a soon-to-be-formed pedestrian committee, saying their functions would overlap.
- Amsterdam is finding parking - bike parking - to be a problem. Over the next two decades the city will invest $135 million to improve the biking infrastructure, including the creation of 38,000 bike parking racks “in the hot spots.”
Also, does anyone have access to goats that they would be willing to lend or rent cheap for lawnmowing purposes (I'm not kidding)? This is for a green-oriented bicycle related need. Contact me at dcwashcycle@gmail.com. Thanks.
Of course DC didn't make the list. No US city did.

Keep an eye out for sheep, too. Better lawnmowers than goats.

Sheep tend to be less smelly and less aggressive than goats, which is good for children and neighbors, but they are less able to handle dogs. You could also get some bunnies or guinea pigs in a cage and move them around the lawn.
