[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bicyclists can’t ever win with non-bicyclists. We don’t want them on our roads or our sidewalks, but they’ve got to ride somewhere.[/quote]

Do they though? Do they have to? [/quote]
Are you suggesting we ban bicycles?[/quote]

I'm not suggesting we ban them, but I am suggesting that you don't HAVE to ride your bike anywhere in this city. You choose to which is ok, but certainly not a necessity. [/quote]
To clarify, I wasn’t suggesting that riding a bike in DC is a requirement for anyone; I was saying that people who ride bikes are going to ride them on sidewalks/streets/trails/paths somewhere, and wherever that is, there will be people complaining about it.[/quote]

If there were more considerate bikers who shared the road, the sidewalk or paths politely with everyone else, they wouldn't have such a bad rep. I have a 15-minute walk from Union Station to my office every day, and get almost ran over by bikes and scooters daily. There is a busy crosswalk in front of Union Station where there is a bike lane as well as the road. The cars stop at the stop sign but bikers and shooters NEVER do. They yell at pedestrians to get out of their way. [/quote]
