[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm all in favor of public transportation and biking for those who are able; but you have to acknowledge that the vast majority of people cannot and will not use a bike as their primary mode of transportation for day to day activities. It just doesn't work.[/quote] What exactly is stopping the “vast majority of people”? Could it perhaps be the perceived lack of safety due to the lack of protected bike lanes?[/quote] How about more basic and practical factors like: comfort, convenience, efficiency, needs, etc. 20% of the population of DC is either over the age of 65 or under the age of 5. 12% of the population are disabled, including 6% of those from the ages of 5-64. I know it might be hard for you to understand, but not everyone wants to bike at all. In fact, the vast majority of people in disinterested in cycling both as a matter of transportation and for recreation. [/quote]
