I'm still trying to catch up from my vacation and so I'm just now getting around to this article from street smart.
D.C. Department of Transportation Director Gabe Klein says every biker is at risk every time they hit the road.
"Just three weeks ago, our associate director for urban forestry was hit on his bike on his way to work."
There was one fatal bicycle accident in D.C. in 2008, three fatal bicycle accidents in 2007.
There were actually two in 2008. I hope the associate director is OK. The big news in the story is about Smartbike
About 90 Smartbike racks and an army of 1,000 Smartbikes are expected to be on the city's roads this summer.
I don't know how they'll get that done in such a short time or what WTOP's source is. That's much more than Jim Sebastian reported in February (50 stations by 2010).
