[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why spend tax dollars on additional bicycle infrastructure when bikers disdain the existing infrastructure? [/quote] Dude. There is no such thing as "bikers". A bicyclist is anybody who rides a bicycle. And study after study after study shows that people are more likely to ride a bicycle when there is good, connected bicycle infrastructure. If you drive, then you should SUPPORT good bicycle infrastructure. Why would you want more people in more cars getting in your way more?[/quote] Hardly anyone in DC bikes. It would be interesting to divide DC's total spending on bike infrastructure by the number of people who use it. I wonder if it comes out to $1 million plus per bicyclist. [/quote] It is also important to consider the geography of where the infrastructure is placed and the race of the users. [/quote]Please expand. [/quote]
