For years I used to complain that I couldn’t drive through beach drive (a nice curvy road in Washington DC’s rock creek park) on weekends because they used to close it off to cars. I thought, damn selfish cyclists. And then I went cycling on beach drive with my wife one weekend. Wow was it amazing. I got to enjoy it in a whole new way and it was way better than driving through. I hadn’t realized how much cars get in the way of you just appreciating your surroundings. I think this’ll be the same for cities.
