I explored the protected bike lanes of Washington, DC in March of 2022. I was shocked at how much the city has been able to achieve in a short amount of time and wanted to learn more about it. The is obviously a lot more under the surface than one video can share, but hopefully, this shows you what is possible with some political will, advocacy, and good planning!
