What I see is people wanting to remove bikes from the roads, impose requirements to discourage cycling, etc.
----

Sorry, but I don't see any of that here - least of all from me.

I can't speak for others.

I'll just say I wish cyclists would OBEY the traffic laws instead of treating them as "suggestions" at best and an inconvenience at worst. DC cyclists have gained notoriety for doing exactly that along with having the attitude that EVERY accident involving a cyclist and a car (or a pedestrian) is ALWAYS the other person's fault.

I understand that bikes are far more vulnerable than cars. I get that. What I don't get is the rationale that says "I'll get on my bike and do as I please on the streets and everyone in a car or on foot better look out for me, stay out of my way, and stay out of DC if they don't like it".

You have a right to use the road. I get it. But I also know that with rights come responsibilities. Too many cyclists act as if they don't get that simple fact.

As I said ealier, I just want to get to my destination without having my life ruined by the consequences of someone else's "No, YOU watch out for ME!" sense of entitlement.
