It’s Bike to Work Day today and more than 16,000 people signed up for the event—-a reflection of the growing and changing bike culture in D.C. Unfortunately, the wet weather today will force many people to ditch their bikes; D.C. is currently under a  flood warning with Reagan National Airport measuring 1.91 inches of rain already as of 7:25 a.m. Thankfully, the worst of the rain is over.
