DC Riv Dealer Figures Visually in TV Piece

[Steven Seelig]

Here in suburban DC we have been battling to get a bike lane put in on our main commuter route.  The Mayor was all in until about a month ago, so now the City Council is standing up to her.  Basically, it would head from the top of DC downtown as a protected lane and would be huge win.

I do local advocacy and the TV reporter (yes, a cyclist) reached out to me, I said meet me at our LBS Riv dealer, Happy Go.  I am off my bike for a week or so, so my Platty did not make an appearance, but Happy Go did.  And that is my head talking in favor.

I was in DC the weekend after the Nat'l bike summit, which my wife attended, and we rode the Capital Crescent to Rock Creek with a dedicated stop at Happy Go. The owner (whose name I can't recall) was incredibly friendly and we chatted about infrastructure and how obnoxious it is that wealthy residents oppose traffic calming or more livable streets when it would interrupt their god-given right to park in front of Starbucks. Hoping the improvements move forward! Also what a great shop

This is awesome, been meaning to get over to Happy Go. I'm all in on the CT Ave bike lanes, obviously, but calling it "suburban" is a bit of a misnomer, it's entirely within DC city limits!

Ben Boerum is the owner.  Suburban is the mindset of the opponents and those who use CT Ave as a commuter route.  If I said it, it was ironic.
