Bikes on the Metro During Rush Hour - WABA Petition

[dasgeh]

What I'm trying to say is that you seem to think that bikes on metro is something that's too important to let any other concern derail it. Conversely, I think bikes on metro is a nice to have, but metro is in no position to implement that well. I'd rather preserve the status quo than see a half-assed unsafe policy change--and I don't think it's at all reasonable to demand that WMATA spend money on this when there are more pressing issues facing the system. There is no policy that metro can implement that will allow bikes at all times without degrading the safety and convenience of a larger fraction of riders.

But that's not what I'm trying to say. The question (should we allow bikes on Metro) is being asked, and I think we should look at data, not just limited experience, in forming an answer.

You seem intent in reading anything I type in the worst (to you) possible light. It's been going on for years.

Sure, couldn't possibly be a legitimate difference of opinion on a policy issue, must be personal.

FTFY. Bikes are already allowed on Metro.

Do you have a problem with a pilot to allow bikes on at all times on Fridays?
