[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been commuting from MoCo to DC for 20+ years down CT Ave to the White House area. I rarely see more than 2 or 3 cyclists each way. I cannot imagine having to navigate around more bikers. It will be dangerous. It will slow down traffic. Slow car traffic heightens tempers. I see full buses. I see groups of people waiting for buses. I cannot imagine adding more buses (which already come regularly during commuter times) is cost effective. Plus: crime. People steal the fancy bikes that dc folks ride. In my old building, the 3 staff who hiked to work brought them into their offices. My new office has a garage with bike lockers. We still only have 2 or 3 people who bike to work. And crime on buses and metro is worse today than it was years ago. I actually used metro for 5 years (2000-2005). It was crowded but tolerable. It was also cheaper than paying for parking downtown. Now it’s a wash. [/quote]
