Shout out to this Congressional staffer/maybe Member of Congress? driving around a car with temp tags that expired two days before Christmas 2021, 406 days ago
If I could be sincere for a moment, the reopening of this is so cool. The security state usually ratchets in one direction and I was resigned to never stepping foot in here again. Thanks to all those behind the scenes who made this happen!
Whoa! My wife’s
@bikeshare
tonight projected a green bike symbol ~10’ in front of her as she rode! I’ve seen this tech elsewhere but never on a CaBi! New feature being tested??

Not joking when I say

was the best thing to happen to
#bikedc
. Provided easy access to bikes, removed traditional barriers to bike ownership, and gave many people their first taste at bike commuting. A lot of people riding their own bikes today got their start on CaBi!
This Sunday will mark 10 years of

Live near a CaBi station? Do us a quick solid and brush snow off the solar panel to keep the station operating! Not worth any bike angels points but I will love you forever
#bikedc
We’re open! Please use caution when riding and stay tuned for updates. Our teams are not currently rebalancing bikes due to travel conditions, so please check the app and plan your ride accordingly.
Construction on Florida Avenue NE unearthing some legacy streetcar rails. Love seeing these whenever they occur while simultaneously depressed we buried literal billions of dollars of infrastructure in service of the private car
I’m 6’4”. Its cool this truck hood goes up to the back of my head and you dont need a special license to drive it :) also love the handicap placard on a truck with doors at least 3’ off the ground lol
I know it kinda annoys some folks but one of my favorite things is helping tourists navigate the Metro. Had two families approach me this morning. Feels like I’m doing my part to be a good District ambassador and leaves me with a smile on my face:)
Radical change is possible.
The mistake to let cars dominate space is not easily fixed.
But our cities can heal from the inflicted wounds.
Wishing all cities willpower, consistency & courage in 2020s!

if you like any piece of
#bikedc
infrastructure in your life, I implore you to please take a moment to write an email to your Councilmember or ANC thanking them for it & asking for more like it.
Positivity always stands out from negativity!
Please stop crashing your car into our bikeshare stations thank you
(Although good thing this was already planned for replacement on thursday as part of SGR)
~8:30AM Saturday along the perimeter of the U.S. Naval Observatory on Observatory Circle NW at Calvert Street NW. NO indication of intentional impact.

heads up
#bikedc
drivers are big mad tonight. gridlock traffic due to closures around the convention center, exacerbated by people who don't know you shouldn't drive into an intersection if you cannot clear it. bike lanes are clear though :)
A Dutch friend just sent this picture of 2e De Riemerstraat, an ordinary residential street in Den Haag.
We really can do so much better in Britain, if we raise our eyes above 'car parking' and 'through traffic'.
#LTNs
New curb extension pretty much complete at the former 10th/Maryland/E Street NE slip lane. This is where Vision Zero was launched in 2015. CaBi station returning soon!
Shout to the driver of dc tag GH1010 who was mad someone stopped at a red light at 14th & R NW, almost hit someone crossing the street to get around them, took offense when i yelled at him not to do that, then tried to hit me with his car as I drove down R.
Shouts out to the two dudes on
@bikeshare
ebikes riding by precisely as an ANC commissioner was telling me no one rides bikes in the neighborhood lol
#bikedc
Our 23rd most popular station, hosting over 483,000 trips since installation in 2010. Replaced and expanded from 15 to 19 docks as part of state of good repair.
Here's to the next 483,000 trips!
#bikedc
🚨 STATION ALERT 🚨
Our teams have replaced, relocated, and expanded the Adams Mill & Columbia Rd NW station.
The new location is just a little closer to Columbia Rd NW. Ride today! 🚲♥️
@sam_d_1995
Lived in the block immediately south of the autozone for four years. My favorite memory was the 4:00pm shooting in the parking lot one afternoon during the pandemic. Or people driving on the sidewalk to park in the lot when its closed. Or the other shooting in the parking lot.
Oh, you want to bring that public bikesharing service that’s breaking ridership records every week to my neighborhood? I can assure you that wont work here because everyone drives
Can anyone confirm what these three people are on West Virginia Avenue NE? I have been told multiple times that NO ONE bikes here (nor will they nor should they) and just wanna confirm I’m not seeing things
#bikedc
So
@DCDOTRA
closed my short one block street to through traffic and this father is teaching his son to ride a bike. These things probably arent connected so no need to examine the implications of expanding this full time District-wide 🤗
@Mason_Transport
I know I sound like a broken record but I still believe
@bikeshare
was the greatest thing to happen to cycling in DC in terms of lowering barriers and making cycling more accessible to folks outside of hardcore hobbyists
Folks. I witnessed a
@MD_Driver_in_DC
speed past a person trying to cross 14th, missing her by inches, and then get immediately pulled over by an MPD officer right up the block lofuckinl
Just saw a driver run a red light and then blow through a stop sign without slowing. 20 minutes later another driver blew through another red light and almost t-boned me and another driver. But good thing scooters are limited to 10mph!
But on the way home, I came across a driver that had managed to ram his van through a fence, drive across the Jefferson Middle School grass, & finally stopped on the berm. Imagine if kids had been outside. If the berm wasn’t there. This could have been so much worse.

@Nationals
Got tickets next to the bullpen tonight just to see you! Was really hoping the reds would put you in to close for one more trip on the bullpen cart and “DOOOOOOOOO!!!!” Great seeing you tonight and thanks for signing autographs for those in left field!!
Do you like having fun and hanging with your friends? What if you could instead give that up to buy a depreciating asset youll hate to use and worry about constantly when not?
As if they couldnt get any cooler. Thank you
@EireannDolan
and
@whatwouldDOOdo
for all that you do for your adopted home!!! They said the 2019 world series was impossible, lets see about DC statehood!!
