You pick up the path, circle your way around past Hains Point and the Lincoln Memorial, get on the Rock Creek bike path, get off at P street, climb the brutal hill, and walk your bike from there. So if you have to get from Capitol Hill to Dupont or Georgetown, you start by heading in the opposite direction, toward the Potomac. This law states that if you canвЂ™t get somewhere by almost entirely sticking to the path on Rock Creek Parkway or along the Potomac, you canвЂ™t go by bike. вЂ“the jogger who doesnвЂ™t hear you shout вЂњPassing on your LEFTвЂќ and then takes off his earphones long enough to swear at you as you go by.ДЄs for bikes and cars, they werenвЂ™t meant to co-exist, and thatвЂ™s the end of it.Д«ack when Megan was in diapers, I formulated KlingвЂ™s Law of DC Transit.

вЂ“the dog-owner who is on one side of the path while the pooch is on the other side, with the leash creating that sweet trip-wire effect. Why donвЂ™t you send junior out to cross Wisconsin Avenue by himself while youвЂ™re at it? froglogic, a business of The Qt Company, has been founded in 2003 and is known for its automated testing suite Squish with its flagship product Squish GUI Tester, the market-leading automated testing tool for GUI applications. вЂ“the parents who think itвЂ™s cute to watch their toddler run randomly all over the path. In my opinion, pedestrians crossing streets in the DC area are no more sensible than squirrels, and just about as likely to get killed.ДЄs for bikes and pedestrians, donвЂ™t get me started. Pick one.Д¬ars and pedestrians get along about as well as cars and squirrels. The equilibrium is вЂњdefect/defect.вЂќMy opinion about pavement is this: bikes pedestrians cars.

The case in which bikers obey traffic signs and drivers are courteous to bikers is the вЂњco-operate/co-operateвЂќ quadrant of the PrisonerвЂ™s Dilemma. He is responding to Megan McArdle, who needs a refresher course in game theory. Were I suddenly to become fastidious about heeding traffic laws intended to regulate cars, one of the main advantages of biking over driving would evaporate. I biking because itвЂ™s faster than driving - because I blow through stop signs, go the wrong way on one-ways, etc. If dumping on community service isnвЂ™t shocking enough for you, hereвЂ™s Will Wilkinson on bicycle safety. FurthermoreвЂ¦on second thought, donвЂ™t get me started. My line is that I want to know what crime my daughter committed that makes you want to sentence her to community service. Witness the reaction of Tom Coburn, no fiscal squish he, to the latest campaign to defund. The asterisk points out that required volunteering is an oxymoron. It was sort of about libertarian populism, but more about the pending Obamacare gambit from Mike Lee. IвЂ™m still waiting for the plan that requires volunteering* from able bodied retirees as a condition of receiving their social security checks, or requires a few hours a week of service from anyone getting unemployment benefits.
