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.

Every transportation survey I’ve seen shows the number of cyclists is not only very small but is getting smaller…[/quote]

Where's the study that shows cycling in DC is "way up"?[/quote]
They don’t have any actual data. Which is why they talk about anecdotes about parking garages. [/quote]

There's plenty of data from the bike counters downtown, actually, which seems relevant to commuting discussions. The one at 11th and H has shown an increase in daily counts over the last year and a daily average of 174 cyclists (which includes the much lower Saturday and Sunday volume), and also shows the highest count in the last year was on May 7, 2024.

Overall, combining all the counters, the daily average for the period from 2016 to today is 2,778 counts, and the daily average for the period from 2023 to today is 4,019. So if the average is higher for the more recent period, what does that indicate about whether the number of cyclists is increasing or decreasing?[/quote]
