That's the coolest photo of the 1400 block of Abbey Rd, NW that I've ever seen.
The backpack means Paul is dead.
$13 million for bikes? how about $13mil for the DC inspector general's office? or... how much would the cost be to layoff every non-emergency worker in the dc govt and make them reapply for their job? $13 million should rent out enough conference rooms for that process, right?
WTF is up with all the stupid transit planning decisions? Is bike sharing such a hot button issue? Anybody within biking distance from work already has a bike. This ranks up there with the the Transportation Planning Board doing that survey on whether NoVA folks want congestion pricing. They could have saved all that money had they just put up a simple survey online. Commuters could just log in and have a window pop up that says, "Dear Virginia Driver, Would you like to pay more money to sit in gridlock while the Government watches your every move via GPS?" and all there is would be a button that says "Yes."
This is the transit version of asking whether you would like to try ESPN Zone's signature Ultimate Tailgate Three-Cheese Nacho Quesadillas with Extra Pepper Jack Chipotle Mayo, or would you rather just strap a bucket to your ass because you're in for one wet and wild ride on a Violent Explosive Diarrhea Rollercoaster that will rival the Hershey Park Corkscrew, Splash Mountain, Thunder Island, and the Splatterhorn Bobsled?
