[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know people barely use all our bike lanes but if they build these, you will see upwards of 30 people using them every week[/quote]

Impressive numbers.  30/week[/quote]

FWIW, I drove on CT Ave yesterday from  7:30 to 7:45 AM to get from the circle to south of Woodley Park. In that little stretch of time, I saw easily more than 30 cyclists. So anecdotally, no your numbers are way off.[/quote]

Bull$h!t.   I drive that stretch 5 mornings a week [u]at the same time [/u]and there are, at most, five cyclists heading south at that time. One is the 75 yr old white guy in neon green spandex (where is he going? my money is to his law firm, where he is no doubt partner emeritus).  One is a 40-something white woman with strawberry blonde hair and a very flimsy bike helmet. She sits very upright in the saddle, often wears a dress.  She appears to think she's riding to the Katama market in MV for a scone. [/quote]

If there is a bike group out, there will easily be 30+ cyclists. [/quote]
