Things that actually are wrong with this picture:

1. That pink air freshener looks really silly with what is an otherwise pretty sharp-looking ride.

2. The cycletrack pavement is cracked. Cracked concrete, combined with the wavey asphalt on almost all of the south-bound lane, are wayyy more of a pain in my bike-riding butt than people parked in the lane.

3. VO's not pulled all the way over to the curb. Look, there are cars parked in the cycletrack all the time -- especially USSS cars around the White House. It's annoying, but the track's wide enough that you can usually zip around them. If you're reading this blog and you're a DC "BigWig" or law enforcement person, we know you're going to park there sometimes so at least please just pull all the way over.

Things wrong with these comments:

1. Myopic Twits: It's your business if someone (especially an elected official) parks illegally. It's NONE of your business what kind of car someone drives.

2. Courtland Milloys: Demanding that councilmembers adhere to a higher standard isn't racist.

3. Long-time-locals: Illegal fake church-parking rules are still illegal fake parking rules.

4. @ Oboe: "...for WHOM."
