Obamas administration requested a Bikeshare station at the WH. Trumps team just had it removed

The Trump administration has dismantled aspects of Obama’s legacy, big and small — including the Capital Bikeshare station that was installed on the White House grounds at the request of the Obama administration.

The District’s Department of Transportation confirmed Wednesday that it removed the nine-slot Bikeshare station this week at the Trump administration’s request.

Unlike every other Bikeshare station in the region, this one was not accessible to the public and could only be used by commuters who had access to White House grounds. The Obama administration requested the station in 2010.



Whole story at:

I guess the current vermin at the WH slink in and out thru cracks, under door frames, and via sewer pipes.

None of them ride bikes to work? None of them exercise?

This is pretty much the perfect example of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
