Washington Post Bike vs. Car column 9/15

Oh hi, Dirt! Right out in front 😎

I wondered if that was the man, the myth, the Dirt. Cool. Represent, baby! Or something like that.

Tim Johnson ride on Washington — the Post re-uses it all the time. It’s a great photo!

On one hand, I am glad to see article like this to help address the subject and kudos to the Post for keeping it fairly evenhanded. However, on the other, these articles just make those mad at cyclists even more angry. Reading the comments on the article is depressing.

And a reason I don’t read or comment on the Post and rarely on ArlNow anymore. Its hard to reason with the unreasonable. And the trolls.

While I tend to read the comments only for the entertainment value, there are some that will raise my blood pressure from their mere presence, so I try to go to a quiet place and regain my equilibrium – like being out on the bike.
