Documenting the abuses of the three-headed monster that is the lying bike lobby, the 👹 urbanists who profit from it, & the limp media that supports them both.

This has to be the most corrupt 🚲land grab in DC history. They want to remove parking & at least one travel lane on Conn Ave, even though the data shows that there are 50,000% more daily 🚘 than 🚴♂️ in NON-WINTER months.
All for two 🚴♂️ crashes per YEAR on Ward 3’s busiest road.
Let’s #GetToKnowYourANC on this project. David recognizes how unpopular removing parking from his district will be, but pushes for it anyway cuz he loves to ride his 🚲. Did we mention his income comes from urbanism & that his fave 📺 shows are about spies trying to destroy 🇺🇸?

Last month, the best known DC-specific magazine reached out to ME for a story! At first, I was excited to have a way to reach over 100k sets of eyes at once. Still, I had my suspicions...
My doubts doubled when I scrolled down slightly on the journalist’s Twitter feed... #Thread
But how could I turn down the chance at this opp? So, I diligently answered the reporter’s initial questions. Then I answered the followups. Then silence.
Eventually, he replied to me. The article is on an indefinite hold. 🤔
PLEASE RETWEET THIS THREAD & TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW ABOUT IT.
This is THE smoking gun that shows how corrupt the 🚲 agenda is... AND how govt, the media, the police, and 🚴♂️ are all complicit in pushing lies that strip away the rights of normal citizens.
READ THE WHOLE THREAD!
It all started when we noticed that the councilmember who was introducing *emergency legislation* for a 🚲 lane (!) was using a phototweet from 2/21/20 to bolster her argument. To us, it seemed weird to use something where baseline facts (especially fault) weren’t clear for PR.
