HOLY S**T. Yesterday evening I was riding with my daughter in the back of my cargo bike when a Cybertruck buzzed us going way above the speed limit and dangerously weaving between lanes. We yelled and flicked off the driver. I bet this is the same one. reddit.com/r/washingtondc…

Protected bike lanes and bus-only lanes on Columbia Road were put in place to keep things rolling and improve safety. However, some Adams Morgan residents said drivers and moped operators seem to be taking more risks. wjla.com/news/local/bik…

@ABC7 looks to me like the SUV DRIVER IN THE FKING BIKE LANE is the problem here and not the BIKE LANE. But go figure, side with the traveling band of anti-bike NIMBY's in dc. Great.

All this administration had to do was... Nothing. And everything would be better than it is now, and better than it will be for a generation while the nation tries to recover.

@mffisher Disgusting stuff, dude. Nice job saying that the right of person to drive around in a $60,000 car is for the little man while the person on the cheapo CaBi is the one exerting privilege.

New column: Bike lanes -- part of a “road diet” that sounds healthy and nutritious but is actually a recipe for traffic constipation -- are often a stealthy way to push wholesale class and racial change wapo.st/4hUAdp7

“What doesn’t make sense is to hand car lanes over to cyclists when your real motive is to gum up traffic to discourage people from driving.” No, the real motive is to ensure that cyclists don’t die on our streets simply based on the type of transportation they utilize!

This is a mostly thoughtful column on bike lanes in D.C. from @mffisher, but I have a few quibbles with some of what he writes. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

Marion Barry was last Mayor in 1999. You could have been born in DC after he was Mayor and be 25 today. Most advocates cast off as young transients are firmly middle-aged parents of DC-born kids. These standards don’t add up.
Debbie Steiner@SmithSteiner

Those of us who were here not as transients; who were here during the Marion Barry days of struggle; lack of city services; and tax collection was dismal.

I am a commissioner-elect sans car. Besides walking and @wmata, for the past ~10 years @bikeshare gets me where I need to go (at $95/year!). My family cannot afford a car and live in DC at the same time. We *love* our car-free life & need safe, affordable options to get around.
Martin Austermuhle@maustermuhle

Fourth, the subtext to so many of the criticisms of cycling is that it's expensive and elite. But the obvious counterfactual is rarely considered: cars are much more expensive, and no, not everyone in D.C. has one or can afford one.
