My name is not Nick, I’m a cyclist and I think it makes more sense to put bike lanes where there is the most population density and where there is the highest deaths due to traffic violence. To argue otherwise seems like whack job type stuff to me. [/quote]

Again, what’s wrong with Metro train and metro bus that we’ve collectively paid $10 billion for and has an annual operating budget of $2+ billion?  You can put your little bike right on the front.  [/quote]

The craziest thing about bike lanes in D.C. is how few people use them. It would be cheaper if the city paid each bicyclist $10,000 to take the bus. [/quote]

Ummm the 15th Street bike lane gets as many as 3000 bikes per day and it gets that usage without DC even having a network of lanes which would greatly increase the utilization.

And no it would not be cheaper to pay each bicyclist to take the bus (though most bicyclists also use public transit) - the CT Ave bike lanes are a minuscule expense - the entire project is going to cost about 10 million - DC spends $600 million a year on just maintaining its roads[/quote]
You don’t know how many people use the 15TH Street Cycletrack because DC stopped collecting data in July 2020 and it was trending downward when supposedly there was a COVID cycling renaissance. [/quote]
