Greater Greater Washington. The Washington, DC area is great. But it could be greater.

Go celebrate car-freedom right now!

[Autoposted while I'm in France]

Unless something changed since I went off to France for the week, the Car-Free festival should be starting right now at 7th and F streets. Enjoy the free music, yoga classes, try out a SmartBike or get a bike tune-up.

Hie thee to Gallery Place between now and 3 pm! There's free valet bike parking, and the Circulator is free all day.

Say hello to the Ministry of Bicycling, or help them wave flags and hand out flyers. They're planning to arrive around noon.

When you get back, post your experiences and/or photo links in the comments.

Does anyone have a clue why Metro has not signed on with Google Transit?

I submitted a public access to records policy (PARP) request six weeks ago on Google Transit (my first request was too narrow and was denied). Look for an infosnack post once I get the data. The June lunchtime talk had the CEO saying they were "looking into it".

Lance and I just went to go celebrate car-freedom at the plaza. Met Tommy Wells and Cheryl Cort, and got a bike tuneup. Rode a Segway for the first time and generally had a good time.

Sunday afternoon? Of course its a ghost town. The Skins were probably playing.

Not really. David lets me post things occasionally and I like to read and comment here but we're two separate blogs.

Damn, the trolls are getting creative. Yet somehow it's still blindingly obvious.
