They don’t have registered license plates and don’t obey traffic laws. Sketchy as hell. Clear enough?

We’ve decided that some people in DC are required to obey laws and pay the taxes for the people we allow to break the law. That’s the deal you sign up for living here.

That poster is right. Nobody said you had to like it.


It's laughable to anyone who bikes or walks in the city that they drive safely. I guess you get off on knowing they annoy people, which is fine. A few will turn themselves to pancakes annually and hopefully they don't hurt too many pedestrians along the way.

The few times they do something bad, I ask myself if a fleet of double parked and clapped out Nissan Altimas would be better.


I agree. They follow the law better than cars - and if they don’t they won’t obliterate me.

Too bad that ICE doesn’t crack down. The sketchy bike riders are mostly illegals.
