Youbiketoworkeveryday,right?
Not every day.But most days I bike for at least part of it.
Doyoustopatallstopsigns?
Of course.
Whenyou’redrivingacar,haveyouevershoutedorshakenyourfistatabicyclist?
No,I haven’t shouted at them,but I have taken into account the kind of frustration most drivers might feel behind a cyclist.But my position is that I respect their right to be on the road and try to give them as much space as possible.
Shouldbicyclistsberequiredtohavelicenses?
No.I think that would really cut down on the convenience of bicycling.I don’t really think it makes sense and it would be a great burden for the government to try and license all riders.

Wouldyousupportaone-dayeventwherepeoplecanonlywalkorbikeortakepublictransportation?
That would be nice,but it might be a bit of a challenge.What we saw on the Metro closure day was that on very short notice a lot of people found other ways to get to work,and that was exciting.We offered a free day membership on Bikeshare,and we had a lot of people try it for the first time.We had 149 people join or renew that day.

You’re not going to get me to answer that question,Joe.It’s just the opposite.It’s which modes we are going to introduce and what variations we are going to introduce to make us even more mobile.If we have options and backup (备用的) options and connections,that’s what makes the city not only more sustainable and more convenient and cheaper but,frankly,more fun.
