I saw this in the news and imagined it would affect our DC commuters. A few more bikes doesn't sound bad, but I wonder how "a lot more cars" is going for everyone else.

Nice and warm here at 58F. Spring is in effect with many trees blooming. I hope to get a pic of my neighborhood and post it.

This morning I was catching up to a leisurely rider who was slowing down and stopping while she tried to wave a car on to back out of its driveway. The driver was being hesitant because of her and probably because he saw me approaching too. She seemed to be getting more emphatic with waving the car to pull out, but she never looked back. I might have also stopped, but there was another cyclist coming from the other direction and the driver was not moving. Plus I was trying to maintain momentum up a hill.

When I went past her she said something like, "Oh," as in, "Oh, that's why he won't back on out." I didn't say anything to her because I couldn't think of anything short enough that she could have actually understood. I have found that most drivers prefer the walker or runner or cyclist to just go on in a situation like that.
