[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a small group of people - and I think many of us know exactly who they are - who seem to think that the best way to preserve that which they hold dearest (and which they irrationally believe to be threatened by bike lanes) is to try to pit cyclists against bus riders, cyclists against disabled people, cyclists against black people and so on and so on. It has utterly no basis in reality whatsoever and is utterly pathetic. Sites like this debase themselves by permitting this nonsense.[/quote]
There are two types of people. One type are people who think that the world revolves around them. The other type are people who try to figure out how we can all get along as best as possible together.

The bicylist holding up the bus “because they can” is the same person as the person who jogs in the middle of the street and the same person who doesn’t yield their car to pedestrians in cross walks. Same behavior, same person.[/quote]

This is absolutely true.

I also agree that better bus service should be DC's priority for many reasons, including environmental.  My personal preference for getting around is cycling, but I can't do that with my young kids, a ton of groceries, or for super long distances, and plenty of people can't or don't want to do that at all.  Buses serve everyone much more effectively than bikes.[/quote]

Cyclists never hold up buses in DC. This is absolutely garbage. Please move on to the next fabricated bogeyman. I can't wait to see what it will be next. Cyclists versus necrophiliacs?[/quote]
Except for the guy who admitted it of course?  :roll: [/quote]

Timestamp?  All I see is someone who said it's easy to move over for buses and that parked/standing cars hold them up.[/quote]
