Any dehumanization of cyclists followed demonization of car users and disregard for pedestrians. "Car-free diets," letting motorized bikes and scooters on trails, treating bike commuters as gods. It's very, very ableist.
I can walk. I cannot ride a bike. Even for fun. Even with a motor. It's balance and knees. Being demonized for driving to Sibley (what, you want me to Uber it's still a car) because 7 miles is too far to walk and 2 hours connecting buses is crazy isn't ever going to get me on a bike.

“Confiscation of residents’ parking spots?”

Entitled much?

I’m sorry to have to break the news, but those residents do not own the road space adjacent to their abodes and they have no established right to a parking space.

Moreover, every house on those blocks has a driveway and there is ample space on the other side of the street for parking.

Invoking all manner of hyperbole to drawn attention to your own sense of victimization works a lot better if you develop some real problems first.

Do you really think it's safe for people parking across the street to have sprint across a very busy street with no crosswalk. Seriously?

Then ask DDOT to add a crosswalk. Without fail, opponents of these and other bike lanes love to complain but are completely incapable of coming up with a single constructive suggestion.

Will the cyclists and drivers stop for people within the crosswalks? The crosswalk only makes it safer if both cyclists and drivers stop for people within the crosswalks.

Cyclists aren’t really interested in pedestrian safety. Neither are drivers but unlike cyclists they don’t claim to implement features that only have a dubious tie to pedestrian safety.

Do you also make sweeping generalizations about various ethnic and religious groups? Or is your bigotry restricted to making up silly stereotypes about people who use a different form of transportation than you?

You make think this is all fun and games, but the dehumanization of cyclists has really consequences. Consequences like this: https://www.foxnews.com/us/new-mexico-teens-13-15-charged-murder-hit-and-run-bicyclist-posted-social-media. Odds are that Scott Habermehl would have still been alive if there were a bike lane on that road.

Pfft. Even cyclists' moms think they are obnoxious, entitled *ssholes. They are the worst people on the road.

These bike lanes are working as intended—to punish drivers because cars are bad. The fact that nobody uses them is viewed as a positive, I suspect, because it makes the point clear.

The only time I've ever seen someone use it was a women on a Vespa.

DC cyclists are cycopaths.

I finally saw 1 (!) biker!

this is on the agenda for the FORTY-FIFTH MEETING OF THE ANC3D TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE Wednesday, March 26, 2025:

• Arizona Ave./MacArthur Blvd. intersection: new statistics

wonder if that includes use of the bike lane?

Anonymous wrote:No one will ever use that bike trail. It is another example of how profoundly stupid the council of DC is. This entire group of people have never accomplished anything of note in their lives even before they joined the council and started to destroy the city.

Agreed - they are nobodies who want to feel special.

Plz run for office
