I am hardly alone!

Besides, it’s not our numbers that count. It is our lobbying power.

When OP and DDOT are using taxpayer funds to pay outside advocacy groups to lobby for their own agenda, yes, it enhances lobbying power.

I donate $20 to WABA for every post I see here about a Bike Lobby.

Everything about WABA is a scam. Most of its budget comes from the taxpayer, and WABA repays the favor by charging DCPS thousands of dollars to rent each bike used in its stupid classes on how to ride a bike. It would be great if this astroturf group could get its money from real, live people who believe it its cause and stop living off the public dole. DC has better things to spend its money on.

Seems pathetic. Underscores how few people in this city support bike lanes.

another $20 to WABA from the PP!

Please, give them all of your money. Taxpayers should not have to float these scam artists.

They don't, but then again, your kind has never let something as pesky as facts disrupt your carefully constructed alternate reality.

Hey dipshit. Here's their tax forms. You can see for yourself. Two thirds of their entire budget is handed to them by the DC government which receives nothing in return.

Nothing in return except...

- serving as trail captains to clean up area trails and help people who are on them
- providing training to kids and adults
- providing summer camps
- doing school visits to promote safer cycling

etc., etc.

Right, yep, seems like absolutely nothing! No hyperbole here from idiot carbrains!

WABA charges schools $1,000 per child to rent its bikes for its classes. Does that strike you as a reasonable rate? That garbage-y program is separate from all the free money WABA already gets from taxpayers.

It seems like an inflated (some might say fraudulent) way to pad a contract and transfer even more taxpayer funds to this lobbying group.

It seems like false information, because it is false information.

We thought you Trumpers called it “fake news”?

I'm no accountant, so perhaps someone can explain to me why there are only two people listed as the highest compensated employees with a combined amount of about $150k. BUT.. other salaries and wages not listed itemized is about $1.475 million (almost in line with the DC government grant btw). If these two employees are the top compensation (to be fair, it looks like one only worked for part of the year), who is getting the other $1.475 million "in other salaries and wages?" Could someone explain this?

Nah, we're just out biking and enjoying the beautiful weather, not engaging in your weird conspiracy theories about a bike advocacy group.

Wow. They barely collect anything in membership dues. This group would implode without taxpayer funding.

Obviously the Badly Designed Yellow T Shirts group should incorporate as a 501(c)(3) and apply for grant funding.

WABA is an actual fraud. GGW survives on taxpayer money and funding from the developers recently charged by the DC AG for collusion and price fixing. Unincorporated Developer “astroturf groups” like Ward 3 Vison and Cleveland Park Smart Growth refuse to disclose their sources of funding.

All the evil bike lobby people got together to do evil bike lobby things today. And by that, of course, I mean that WABA hosted a long group ride out to the agriculture preserve in MD to enjoy some beautiful fall weather and scenery. Must really suck to be you and stuck in your mom's basement in the Palisades all day.

Please, give them all of your money. Taxpayers should not have to float these scam artists.

They don't, but then again, your kind has never let something as pesky as facts disrupt your carefully constructed alternate reality.

Hey dipshit. Here's their tax forms. You can see for yourself. Two thirds of their entire budget is handed to them by the DC government which receives nothing in return.

Wow. They barely collect anything in membership dues. This group would implode without taxpayer funding.

WABA is an actual fraud. GGW survives on taxpayer money and funding from the developers recently charged by the DC AG for collusion and price fixing. Unincorporated Developer “astroturf groups” like Ward 3 Vison and Cleveland Park Smart Growth refuse to disclose their sources of funding.

Who paid for the badly-designed yellow t-shirts?

Why are drivers so hateful?

I am hardly alone!

Besides, it’s not our numbers that count. It is our lobbying power.

When OP and DDOT are using taxpayer funds to pay outside advocacy groups to lobby for their own agenda, yes, it enhances lobbying power.

I donate $20 to WABA for every post I see here about a Bike Lobby.

Everything about WABA is a scam. Most of its budget comes from the taxpayer, and WABA repays the favor by charging DCPS thousands of dollars to rent each bike used in its stupid classes on how to ride a bike. It would be great if this astroturf group could get its money from real, live people who believe it its cause and stop living off the public dole. DC has better things to spend its money on.

I'm no accountant, so perhaps someone can explain to me why there are only two people listed as the highest compensated employees with a combined amount of about $150k. BUT.. other salaries and wages not listed itemized is about $1.475 million (almost in line with the DC government grant btw). If these two employees are the top compensation (to be fair, it looks like one only worked for part of the year), who is getting the other $1.475 million "in other salaries and wages?" Could someone explain this?

Seems pathetic. Underscores how few people in this city support bike lanes.

another $20 to WABA from the PP!

Suddenly all the bike people who hang out all day on DCUM are extremely quiet

All the evil bike lobby people got together to do evil bike lobby things today. And by that, of course, I mean that WABA hosted a long group ride out to the agriculture preserve in MD to enjoy some beautiful fall weather and scenery. Must really suck to be you and stuck in your mom's basement in the Palisades all day.

And yet here you are, being a catty little b**ch to strangers on the Internet.
