this is on the agenda for the FORTY-FIFTH MEETING OF THE ANC3D TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE Wednesday, March 26, 2025:
• Arizona Ave./MacArthur Blvd. intersection: new statistics wonder if that includes use of the bike lane? |
| I finally saw 1 (!) biker! |
| DC cyclists are cycopaths. |
It... didn't... affect... the... number.. of ... driving... lanes... |
It... did... during... rush hour... which... is... when... most... people... use... it... |
The only time I've ever seen someone use it was a women on a Vespa. |
Do you really think it's safe for people parking across the street to have sprint across a very busy street with no crosswalk. Seriously? |
Then ask DDOT to add a crosswalk. Without fail, opponents of these and other bike lanes love to complain but are completely incapable of coming up with a single constructive suggestion. |
Will the cyclists and drivers stop for people within the crosswalks? The crosswalk only makes it safer if both cyclists and drivers stop for people within the crosswalks. |
Cyclists aren’t really interested in pedestrian safety. Neither are drivers but unlike cyclists they don’t claim to implement features that only have a dubious tie to pedestrian safety. |
| These bike lanes are working as intended—to punish drivers because cars are bad. The fact that nobody uses them is viewed as a positive, I suspect, because it makes the point clear. |
Do you also make sweeping generalizations about various ethnic and religious groups? Or is your bigotry restricted to making up silly stereotypes about people who use a different form of transportation than you? You make think this is all fun and games, but the dehumanization of cyclists has really consequences. Consequences like this: https://www.foxnews.com/us/new-mexico-teens-13-15-charged-murder-hit-and-run-bicyclist-posted-social-media. Odds are that Scott Habermehl would have still been alive if there were a bike lane on that road. |
Pfft. Even cyclists' moms think they are obnoxious, entitled *ssholes. They are the worst people on the road. |
|
Any dehumanization of cyclists followed demonization of car users and disregard for pedestrians. "Car-free diets," letting motorized bikes and scooters on trails, treating bike commuters as gods. It's very, very ableist.
I can walk. I cannot ride a bike. Even for fun. Even with a motor. It's balance and knees. Being demonized for driving to Sibley (what, you want me to Uber it's still a car) because 7 miles is too far to walk and 2 hours connecting buses is crazy isn't ever going to get me on a bike. |
