I live in Baltimore, work in the county, and don't have a car. People ask "How on earth do you do that commute without a car??" I normally just say that its a run->train->commute for simplicity.

But the story is so much more than that. Let me take you on my daily commute.

Great talk on Hogan's highway expansion projects on the Kojo Nnamdi Show. Remember, if you build more lanes, more people drive. The last time I-270 was widened, the ridership projection for 2010 was reached in 1999 - less than eight years after widening! https://t.co/fITLHFc3mv

54% who voted in @wusa9's poll said bikes should be allowed on @wmata. That's good, but too many others are claiming things like: bikes aren't as necessary as wheelchairs and strollers.

How do they know? Let's all be more welcoming to people who don't travel the same way as us.
