@0ead2664c88f9cccc6acea731e628fc5:disqus Well, she's married to a fairly influential democratic senator, so it's not entirely surprising...

"...the president stepping out of his limo and almost right on top of a bike stencil."
How would YOU like to be doored by the Commander-in-Chief?

forgive the non-sequitur but did anyone else notice the high-profile presence of Iris Weinshall yesterday? She accompanied Michelle
Obama for the swearing in, and sat at POTUS' table at the Inaugural lunch.

Ahhhh. Stop with the cynicism already. Seeing the bike lanes on Pennsylvania Avenue was my favorite part of the Inauguration Parade. Millions saw for the first time how much importance DC places on its bicycle network: Bike lanes that are not marginalized into the gutter, but placed right in the center of the street!

If the media had mentioned the bike lane it would certainly be in a negative way.

Yes this is a big deal but I didn't hear any of the broadcasters or news people make mention of the bike lane in any of the reports I saw. If they did, that would have been extra awesome.

I can't believe you're applauding this. I mean, look at the video - some guy in his big black limo is driving down the middle of the bike lane, then he opens his back door without even looking to see if some innocent dude on a brakeless fixie might be rolling through in the bike lane, just like he's supposed to do. And Michelle is even walking in the wrong direction. It's a travesty, I tell ya. Where's angry Fred Armisen when you need him?

If only Barack and Michelle had hopped on Capital Bikeshare bikes for the last leg of their trip...

Darn pedestrians, always walking on the bike lanes!

Who will be the first president to bike down a bike lane for his/her inauguration?
