[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's probably 400,000 people in DC who drive. How many people ride bikes? 300? 400? Let's be generous and and call it 1,000 people. And they want to dictate policy for everyone else. Maybe bikers are nothing more than a noisy, self-centered special interest group. [/quote] You think there are only 1000 people who ride bikes in DC? “The percentage of D.C. residents who bike to work increased from 2.2 percent in 2010 to 4 percent in 2015, according to U.S. Census data from the most recent version of the American Community Survey. That equates to about 13,000 D.C. residents who currently bike to work and an average of about 1,200 new cyclists hitting the streets every year.” That’s just the commuters. There are many more people who bike recreationally. [/quote]
