Just go to any bicycle infrastructure planning meeting in the USA - or DC for that matter- and the great majority of those who show up will be the skinny white guys in lycra- basically they have over-dominated the cycling culture in this country to the complete detriment of just about all "other" demographics- and this is why little effort has been pushed for protected bikeways

So, remember kids: even though the token infrastructure like the L & M bike lanes are being pushed back, if only we had more fat guys in cotton shorts (instead of skinny white guys in lycra) we'd have a comprehensive* network of fully segregated bike infrastructure not just in DC, but all over the country.

The fundamental "wrongness" of this position staggers the imagination. And if it weren't so rudely made, it might deserve a more comprehensive rebuttal.

* By "comprehensive" here, I mean that it's possible to go from any Point A to any Point B on segregated bike-only facilities.
