It doesn't matter if bike lanes go mostly unused. What's important is that the cyclists feel better.

A chance to wear expensive Lycra is the best therapy for mid-life crisis.

386 pages of completely ineffective advocacy. Made me not support something I love. Screed themselves out of the done deal. Good jobs MAMIL. To quite one of them: Yawn.

My kids walk to school, and the only afterschool thing they go to that's near Connecticut, we could always Metro to if driving really became horribly inconvenient (which I doubt). Don't threaten me with a good time.

If you think anything anyone posts on DCUM affects actual public policy outcomes one way or the other, you need to log off for a while

I don’t know. Brookings did a study on it — nothing positive but there it is

If they don't then they probably should. It's a lot more reliable than xitter.

Can't the bike lane be moved from Connecticut Avenue to the very wide Cleveland Park Promenade?

Good idea! Apparently they have to turn it back into a street again in order to have streeteries!

A street that is not really a street except when it is.

Matt Frumin tried to take away my car, but not he has to turn in his bike lobby card instead!

...for the hundredth or maybe even more time... bike lanes are not for the types in lycra. The roadies can easily outpace your car and have no problem riding in traffic.

They are for the person put-putting away on a red 3 speed bike share. Or the cargo bike with a kid or two in tow. Or the person shuttling to groceries or Bodega.
