Your white entitlement is showing.

[b]The issue here is that riding a bike on DC streets is extremely dangerous and it's not up to everyone else to ensure that this extremely dangerous thing you and a tiny number of your friends want to do doesn't get you killed. [/b]

If you dont want brain damage, don't become a boxer. And if you don't want to become road kill, stay off DC streets. [/quote]

It is only dangerous because 1) our infrastructure makes it dangerous and 2) entitled drivers threaten cyclists by hitting them and/or driving aggressively around them.

This just seems delusional. Also, I love how, when something bad happens to bicyclists, it's ALWAYS someone else's fault. The answer is never: That person was doing something really stupid. [/quote]

I think that is obvious, but you *clearly* don’t go out drinking with people who bike in DC.[/quote]

I barely know anyone who bikes in DC, but I don't hang out with white twentysomethings, which probably explains that. [/quote]

I guess I started in my twenties, but now I’m forty.  And I have no problem criticizing fellow bicyclists for doing stupid stuff.  The big difference: when they do stupid stuff they put themselves at risk. When you do something stupid in your car you put everyone at risk.  And believe me, I see all the stupid stuff you all are doing while driving.[/quote]

It's no secret that bicyclists are quick to criticize people in cars. But, I mean, do you even stop at stop signs? Bicyclists seem to believe traffic rules are for other people. [/quote]
