[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people still using bikes? Its not the 1930s we have self driving cars that run on electric. that's insane we are building bike roads.[/quote] Bikes are definitely not for everyone, but some people prefer them because they are cheaper, you get some exercise done efficiently, and riding is generally more fun/less frustrating than driving. These are some reasons why individuals may choose bikes, but politicians probably choose to support them due to society-wide benefits: they produce less noise and pollution than cars, and they take up less parking space.[/quote] The utilization of existing bike lanes is just too low to justify removing lanes for car traffic. Even in DC less than 1% of people use bikes to commute to work. Why would the utilization be higher on Metrotech Drive? [/quote]
