Have you signed up to participate in Car Free Day yet? The big day is tomorrow, but as of this writing only 4,759 people have pledged to reduce or eliminate their car use for one day, well short of the 5,445 the event logged last year. You can find the Car Free Day online pledge form here. And don't forget that from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., F Street NW between 7th and 8th will play host to the big Car Free Day celebration, which will feature, among other things, a free outdoor yoga class from Yoga District at 1:30 p.m., a lesson on bicycle repair at noon, and a special bonus for Penn Quarter office workers: the Fojol Bros., the Spy Diner sidewalk food cart, and On the Fly will all be at the event to sell tasty food cart lunches to all comers.

a real benefit would be if the fojol bros. would give us free food! :)
I'll be riding a doorknob to work. Painful, yes, but Mother Nature is worth it. Wait. Is this the same Mother Nature that besets us with droughts and plagues and poisoned monkeys? Nature started the fight for survival, and now she wants to quit because she's losing? Well, I say, "Hard cheese."
why did i think this was a nod to bedknobs and broomsticks?
I pledged, but since then, the boss has called for an all-hands-mandatory staff meeting, AND the monklets' photo day was scheduled. I could take them to their photo session via bike, but they would look rather rumpled after six miles in the elements, don't you think? I'll do my best to cut back, but a car will be involved.
But of course this will be the one day I am at an office in Fairfax and not my "Penn Quarter office worker" location. Damn.
I hereby declare Tuesday a Snark Free Day on DCist. On second thought, let's not.
Could you even begin to imagine what that would be like? Those geese are cooked. Those geese ae f*cked!
Keep fucking that goose.
I don't have a car, but I'm having a hard time giving a damn about this event. Maybe it's preachy event burnout that is reducing the number of "pledges" to this cause?
Driving on Tuesday? Watch out for the Car-Free Enforcer.
I will be driving tomorrow, just looking for a$$holes that cross on a red light. You know what I'm talking about, Washington Circle. And you too, Dupont Circle.
There is no way I'm leaving my fate up to the completely unreliable DC Metro system.
