Love this stat:

> DDOT Bicycle Program Specialist Will Handsfield said the cycle track on 15th Street NW, which debuted in a different format in 2009, now conveys 400 to 500 cyclists per hour during peak periods — a higher per-lane volume than the three adjacent car lanes, which collectively host about 1,200 vehicles.

In nicer weather there are times the 15th street bike lane has the closest thing to a bike traffic jam I've ever experienced. It's the perfect argument for "if you build it they will come."

Most impressive to out of towners, IMO: https://capitolviewat400.com/

30+ here. I like Black Whiskey, Flash and El Techo. It's really about the people you're with more than the other people there, IMO.
