Well I'm glad he saw the light as far as riding big wheels goes. I saw him on his pursuit bike about a month and a half ago. Potholes eat small wheels, and that low position keeps you from seeing over vehicles.
I know K street quite well and this just reinforces the idea that we need to take the lane (there is no shoulder). I would speculate that something like that would happen due to lane sharing. In DC, I no longer share lanes. I always take the whole lane.
Of course I realize this is all rationalization to the effect of this couldn't happen to me. Of course that isn't really the case, I am vulnerable out there too.
