[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know there are hundreds of thousands of people driving in DC every day, but will someone please think of the tens of people -- maybe even 100! -- who want to ride their bikes instead. Can we please focus on that tiny minority of people for once? [/quote]

You haven't been in DC lately, have you?

And again, just because people are driving now, doesn't mean that DC must forevermore continue to accommodate drivers. Especially not drivers who don't even live in DC.[/quote]

I see a lot of bike lanes that are barely used.

And been in DC since it was super dangerous, thank you. [/quote]

If you're not seeing lots of people on bikes, you're not looking. Or you're going to the "super dangerous" parts of DC, which are undeserved by transportation infrastructure.[/quote]

I have to look, because I drive and bicyclists are the most obnoxious, most unpredictable people on the road. Luckily, there aren't very many of them. I see a lot of empty bike lanes. [/quote]

You see a lot of empty bike lanes because bike lanes are efficient for moving people. Bus lanes are, too. Please stay out of both when you're driving.[/quote]

I probably see on average between one and three bicyclists each morning on my way to work. They're like a very loud, but very small special interest group. [/quote]
