[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It takes a special kind of Cluster B to believe that because you personally cannot bike, that bike lanes constitute “treating bike commuters like gods.” [/quote]

The city has spent billions of dollars over the years on a bike infrastructure that is used by a tiny (and shrinking) number of people. The cost per user is out of this universe. Cyclists are also the only group that is effectively exempt from all traffic laws. You can put an infant in the basket on the front of your bike, go tootling down the middle of Connecticut Avenue during rush hour as fast as you can pedal, and you will never be punished. But I get it. You have such a deep seated sense of entitlement that all you can see is that our 150 miles of bike lanes still aren't air conditioned. [/quote]

Can we get the sources for those "billions of dollars" and "150 miles" claims, again?[/quote]

Our government! AKA the horse's mouth. [/quote]

Are you serious? Someone asks for a source and your response is “our government”. That’s not how this works. And I have a faint recollection of going down this road before. After much prodding, you did refer inquisitive readers to a document or two. And those documents revealed your claims to be totally unsubstantiated.[/quote]

DP: There is over $200 million for bike lanes, trails, bridges and overpasses in the current Capital Improvements Plan alone.
