[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL. PP is so unhinged about bicycles that they posted twice revealing their inability to read.

“it is used incredibly frequently” means that it is used a lot, not a little.

Perhaps there is something about bicycles that makes people lose brain cells?[/quote]

Read fine to me.  PP and PP above that were agreeing with PP that each were quoting.  Which was calling the person out who said billions are spent on bike lanes.  Because that's just stupid.  Like, intensely stupid.  Most of the ~100 miles of bike lanes in the city are just paint.  Paint is pretty damn cheap last I checked and the labor to repaint a road takes all of a day or so.

I 'd wager good money that the city has spent more on the Mass Ave resurfacing & road bed project in the last year than it's spent on ALL bike related infrastructure ever. [/quote]
And you would lose all your money. The Mass Ave Rehabilitation budget was $40 million. DC just passed a capital budget commitment of $36 million over the next six years for bike lanes, $125 million to improve trails and $15 million for Capital Bikeshare.

I’m not even going to bother looking up how much has been spent over the past decade.

Your $125m number was thoroughly debunked on the other thread. You know that only a fraction of that allocation is for bike lanes. Yet you repeat it. Yes, this is anonymous forum where you suffer no discernible reputational consequences for repeatedly posting misrepresentations. But please try to have more self-respect and embrace facts, even when they are inconvenient.[/quote]
