[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I use the bike lanes every day to buy groceries, take my kids to the Metro, take my oldest to soccer practice, visit my parents, commute to work.[/b]

Oh wait. Of course I don’t. I use the bus and car for those.

Some bike lanes work great. Others are pure city-planner GGW (does that exist anymore?) hokum that actually do damage by increasing commuting times and further disadvantaging centralized jobs and retail.

Whatever Duffy is up to is likely politicized nonsense, but the bike lane lobby has got to chill. Losing Connecticut Avenue was a sign. [/quote]

I use bikes and bike lanes to do every single thing you named here, except visit my parents because they don't around here (they're a flight away). My life got 1000x better when I got a cargo ebike, I really do recommend that more people try it. I'm not a "bike person" I'm just a regular person who was losing my mind with the traffic and parking issues in the city. I still own a car and love it when I need it (long trips, bad weather, etc). But if I'm able to take my bike instead I'll choose it 9 times out of 10. [/quote]
