My bike is a bigger reason my car is mostly a lawn ornament but metrorail/metrobus do replace at least a few car trips per week.

Capitol bikeshare and the expansion of PBLs across the city means I only drive once a week

Yep they make it really pleasant if your route has then (I go up and down 15th ST NW, and with the bike lights it’s awesome going from admo to Downtown)

Yep! The specter of parking and traffic will get me to bike pretty much anywhere, in nearly any condition. My car is used exclusively for shopping trips where I’m buying more than I can carry & trips far outside of the city.
