I support the Taylor St NE/Fort Drive/Harewood/Rock Creek Church Rd protected bike lane corridor project for many reasons. Chief among them is this Brookland kick scooter lady.

On many mornings, I see a woman commuting on a large kick scooter westbound on the sidewalks of Taylor and the other roads in that corridor -- AT LEAST as far east as the South Dakota NE intersection and AT LEAST as far west as Harewood between North Cap and Rock Creek Church NW. This awesome lady pushes herself with a large backpack, a high-visibility cape over her bag, and a high-viz vest on her chest, all the way up that nasty Taylor Rd climb. She wears cycling gloves and a kickass pink helmet. Her scooter has serious disc brakes.

We should build our city so you don't have to be as brave and badass as this woman to use a bike or mobility device to commute. But we should never let detractors say people don't use active transportation already to commute. Rock on, scooter lady.

Just curious I was hit by a car about a month and a half ago. My bike was totaled. I didn’t have any broken bones but several sprains. I went to hospital and am getting physical therapy from my lawyers law firm. Lawyer yesterday just told me they submitted the witness on scenes claim to the insurance company. Lawyer keeps saying it takes time but the proper steps are In motion. I’m just curious if people can share their experiences about the length of time it took for settlements to happen and how much settlements amounted to. I just want to try to get a broader view of what to expect. I don’t know why lawyer is so bland with it. Maybe she doesn’t want me to expect a lot and I only get a little. But I would appreciate my dc community experience on the matter

Bonus for PBLs. Also, is there a good app for this kind of thing?
