So put that money towards buses and trains that actually take people to work. No more money for rich hobbyists.

Ah yes, the rich hobbyists paying $95/yr for a capital bikeshare unlimited subscription. (Or just paying the $1-2 a ride)

It's so obvious you have absolutely zero clue what you're talking about. No idea about the economy of cycling. About why people might choose to do so over other options.

You should be promoting cycling along with buses and trains, if you're actually arguing in good faith about improved public transit. Why you've decided to die on this hill, I will never know.

They've been calling me a terrible person for asking about driving to DC, when I live in West Virginia, with ZERO infrastructure and no reliable public transport. What am I supposed to do... Cycle to DC from West Virgina, with a crippling disability...? 😂

They're obviously very privileged, full of hate, and they could have chosen kind words to get their point across, but instead, just woke up and chose violence, lol.

Because we have hundreds of miles of bike lanes and nobody uses them. Its very important for rich folks to show how green and cool they are on their bikes. I could care less about the image the Bethesda crowd wants to push. Money needs to go where it will be used. Buses, trains, and cars.

You've been told constantly why this is an incorrect assumption, yet you continue to mindlessly regurgitate it. Eat shit. You're beyond help.

Oh my god literally every single square inch of public space in the city was for cars and you’re mad. Also “hundreds” implies at LEAST 200 and were just barely over 100. Youre so full of shit.
