I'm seriously about to try to spend on a bike. But not SPEND. Those DC hills are brutal though. From downtown to Silver Spring is gonna be rough so if I can cut some lbs from myself as well as the bike, I'll be a happy man.

but from downtown to Silver Spring, you can take the Crescent Trail which is like gradually inclined. Not bad at all if you are a regular biker. And there is the Metropolitan Branch Trail that runs to silver spring.
Typical road bike should be no more than 30lbs and you should be fine. ______________________________________________________________________________

$2500 new. If I were doing it again I might have bought an old cannondale or something. A nice frame and decent wheels can be had for sub $1000 I'm sure.
