DC already has more than 150 miles of bike lanes, many of them protected, and the number of cyclists in this city is going down. If cyclists were a stock, you'd sell. It's already topped out. [/quote]

False statement. You continue to cite "commuter" which, with work from home, is down everywhere. Cycling in general is way up, so measure that way rather than taking faulty "commuter" stats.

The number of people that work from home had declined significantly and continues to decline every month. The fad is over. [/quote]

Then why do you keep citing your 11 county commuter survey from 2022? We know things like CABI are way up since 2022. [/quote]
You’re absolutely and completely crazy. You’re the one playing both sides of the work from home. No one else gives a crap.

Why don’t you go and find data instead of reverting to anecdotes about commuter garages.

Get help. Seriously. [/quote]

None of the big data sets have been updated with post 2022 data yet. There is nothing from ACS or DOT that can show national trends. So the next best option is local data.

You have nearly 3,000 users a day, and this doesn't even capture something like the MBT. That's a strong recovery from 2022 as you can see in the graph.
But the real threat to biking is actually the scooters. That's what has eaten into biking's growth more than anything, and right now there is no real good data out there. They largely need the same infrastructure as bikes though.
