Hey @DDOTDC . How is this intersection at L and 18th Street safe? I used to use this intersection all the time and found it dangerous. Shouldn't you consider ditching the unsafe merge lanes? Any plans to change them? Images from Google Maps 2018 and 2022.

Does @DDOTDC take bicycle infrastructure maintenance seriously?

Hill climber lane (right) on 42nd Street reverting to original state. Van Ness sharrows headless (left). Aren't all DC streets sharrows?

Why is DDOT considering reducing saftey of Ct. Ave. bike lanes? @DcSafer

@ThreeDEF @KnifeyLionRadio @MattDoyle76 @dcunited Should have done this myself🙂

Hey Matt Doyle. According to the Apple TV feed,
Rooney was right

No ifs, ands, or buts about the Columbus offside.

Blue lines are the grass cuts. Red (offside) line angle is adjusted based on distance from the two blue lines.

Found this cleaning out my car. New stadium is nice but still miss lot 8. #dcunited @dcunited

New paper from NACTO recommendations on bike lane design. Are you listening @DDOTDC. Connecticut Avenue bike lanes should not shrink because it would compromise safety and reduce ridership and rider diversity. #bikedc.

Nice to see the first early blooming cherry blossoms at the Capital Crescent Trail rest stop (just below the tunnel) on an unprecedented 80-degree February day (Thursday). Now (Saturday) it is snowing! #bikedc

@SoccerInsider Any work on Carl Robinson as asst. coach.

Does bicycling causes sore back, hands, neck, or shoulders? Here are some tips to change your handlebar height or orientation to possibly get relief.

Two over-70s riding their bikes on and enjoying (and not destroying) the flora and fauna of Beach Drive in Rock Creek Park. #bikedc

@RockCreekNPS. Please keep this road closed to traffic so we can continue to enjoy a traffic-free wonderland.

My final article on the short history of the Schwinn family bicycle company. In the final chapter chronicling the 1990s, family intrigue, social change and economic pressures led to the family company's bankruptcy. @RideSchwinn #bikedc

Nice ride to Georgetown on the Capital Crescent. My 2008 Le Mond Poprad with raised handlebars for my back. Still handles great. #bikedc

[Doug Barnes @DouglasFBarnes]

Every time I see this sign I wonder what the improvements are. Notice tree root bulge just below sign. Capital crescent is over 25 years old and needs to be widened and repaved. @CanalTrust

Sorry for thumb!
