Reply to comment by celj1234 in As a driver, New Jersey Ave NW has absolutely convinced me that protected bike lanes are the right decision. by sloowhand
That is a main bike route for a ton of people. Both sides are definitely needed and it isn't even good enough since drivers are constantly pulling maneuvers and blocking the lane.

Agree to disagree there. Never see those being used very much.

I ride on K St all of the time because it is the main route across the city from NE to NW. It gets a ton of bike traffic so I really don't understand your anecdote about not getting any use.

Be living in the neighborhood and seeing those empty bike lines all the time.

Bike lanes always look empty because bikes don't get stuck in traffic. I'm through a block in 30 seconds. The only time I have ever seen true bicycle traffic was when I used to commute via 15th NW downtown. Even then you could blink and it's gone. That's why we choose to bike. It's faster and it makes more sense at the scale of the city.

It gets so busy on 15th St. NW. They really need a similar protected bike lane on the 17th St. side of the White House that extends all the way to Constitution.

So when I’m sitting at alta Strada and only or 1 or 2 bikes go by in 90 mins…..
We aren’t going to ever agree here on this topic. But enjoy your day

I know we'll never agree. I see you spreading anti bike propaganda on this subreddit all of the time.

It’s not propaganda 😂
It’s my opinion. You don’t have to agree or like it that’s okay. Not everyone loves bikers and bike lanes. Sorry.
