CNN's Great Commuter Race
CNN just did one of those commuter races between someone on a bike, in a car and on transit and they did it here in DC. Problem is, I only caught the tail end and didn't see the ending. It's not up on their website yet either. But I'll keep an eye out for it, unless someone else knows who won.
Update: Here's the video thanks to Brian D. It seems they started in Bethesda and Finished up at CNN HQ just north of Union Station. The cyclist lost because he took the CCT. Should have just come straight down Connecticut and Mass Avenues. He did spend the least amount of money though.

Highlights? Well, riding a bike cost less than Metro or car.

They skipped the part where the car and metro driver had to drive to the gym after work and spend 40 minutes on some machine electrified with coal obtained via mountaintop coal removal in West Virginia to get in the exercise that the cyclist, who only got there marginally after they did, already got.
