[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, as for "drivers are a minority" - a lot of people can't drive. A third of people in the US don't have a driver's license. The majority of them are are disabled, lower income, unhoused, formerly incarcerated, undocumented immigrants, kids, young people, and the elderly. (Plus people like my parents, who are elderly, and do have a driver's license, but don't drive.) I don't know what the specific fraction is of DC residents who don't have a driver's license.[/quote] Of those people who are too frail to drive, how many of them can ride a bike? Probably not many. But they all need to be able to cross a street safely and that would be much easier with the curb bump outs that the bike lobby opposes. [/quote]
