You mean Capitol Hill? As someone who lives there I'd never put my flesh and blood in a plastic basket 18 inches away from cars speeding by at 35+ mph.
Me neither but it's true these are ubiquitous on the Hill and definitely a bit of a status thing, though not for anyone who cares about being a "hot mom." It's more for people who want to be seen as a very specific kind of crunchy and environmentally responsible.
I'm sure they are convenient (more so than driving) but I see people putting 10 year olds in them and am like WTF. A 10 yr old should be riding their own bike.
