I don't care how many baseball cards you shove into the spokes, bicycles aren't keeping people up in the middle of the night.


A lot of the noise is verbal. It's groups of about a dozen teenagers riding together doing dangerous bike stunts and tricks with an atv that films them.

No, it’s not. It’s dirt bikes and atvs.

It wasn't an ATV. It also wasn't a group of riders. It was a couple on a moped and they blew the traffic light.

This is what happens when achieve a critical mass of white people in a formerly Black city.

Local teens having fun was never a problem until a bunch of white people from somewhere else moved here (to live in a city!) and then started complaining about the things that attracted them here in the first place.


I'm white, but I lived in DC when it was majority-Black and I lived in a majority-Black neighborhood. In my experience white people and Black people consider the same things to be nuisances. We didn't have ATV's back then, it was dirt bikes, and Black and white alike considered them to be diminishers of the quality of life.

Sleep with earplugs and white noise.

You are free to move to the country where it is quiet also.


Lol. You think moving to "the country" is a good way to escape ATV noise?

+1. If someone ran on a platform of reducing crime and out of state drivers in DC (or at least taxing them, fining them, and making them pay tickets), I’d vote for them in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, that would probably have to be a republican. No democratic candidate will dare address crime in a meaningful way.


This is the way

White people in cars are evil incarnate.

Black children driving ATVs down the middle of major arteries are “urban culture.”

Got it.

(Are there people who are really this stupid?)



If you can’t take the best get out of the kitchen. Move back to Fairfax.


Honestly this sounds like something someone who is brand new to cities would say

You sound like a complete moron.

Here’s a solution: these children get to ride their ATVs exclusively in bike lanes.

Yup. Kids and young adults have been enjoying time together in this way since I lived in Baltimore 25 years ago.

This is OK though to whistle about because it's in their neighborhoods.

Exactly. Just focusing on ATVs is just another racist dog whistle.


Here’s your answer, OP. Politicians won’t do anything about it because morons like PP will scream “racism!”


What do ATVs have to do with race?


Unfortunately, for whatever reason, most of the ATVers are black


The riders in my neighborhood are Spanish-speaking lantinos.
