[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] why the eye roll? I'm interested in the answer of how one mode of transportation on city streets is faster than another mode of transportation on city streets, assuming that the same set of laws apply to both modes of transportation. Which in the District, they do, re: right of way, traffic signaling, etc. -- a cyclist, so stop rolling your eyes [/quote] 1, It is legal for bikes to proceed on a leading pedestrian interval, even when the main light is still red. 2. Legal filtering, especially in bike lanes 3. Here and there a multi-use trail can provide a short cut or a faster way than traffic. Very locally specific though 4. But mostly parking [/quote] I would also add the ability to strategically use sidewalks (slowly and safely) outside of downtown to get around things like garbage trucks, blocked intersections, etc. Can often save you 2 or 3 light cycles in certain situations.[/quote]
