Jim Sebastian, 50, is a transportation planner and manager of the District’s active transportation branch, which runs Capital Bikeshare and is responsible for trails, bike lanes (车道) and pedestrian planning.

You bike to work every day, right?

Not every day. But most days I bike for at least part of it. So I’ll Metro and then bike from NoMa down to Navy Yard on a Bikeshare bike.

Do you stop at all stop signs?

Of course.

When you’re driving a car, have you ever shouted or shaken your fist at a bicyclist?

No, I haven’t shouted at them, but I have taken into account the kind of frustration most drivers might feel behind a cyclist. But my position is that I respect their right to be on the road and try to give them as much space as possible.

Should bicyclists be required to have licenses?

No. I think that would really cut down on the convenience of bicycling. I don’t really think it makes sense and it would be a great burden for the government to try and license all riders. What we prefer is to establish policies and make it safer for everyone.

Would you support a one-day event where people can only walk or bike or take public transportation?

That would be nice, but it might be a bit of a challenge. What we saw on the Metro closure day was that on very short notice a lot of people found other ways to get to work, and that was exciting. We offered a free day membership on Bikeshare, and we had a lot of people try it for the first time. We had 149 people join or renew that day.

1.What can we infer about most drivers driving behind a cyclist?

A. They may feel annoyed and upset.

B. They stay far away from the cyclist.

C. They show great respect to the cyclist.

D. They make way for the cyclist politely.

2.What is Jim’s attitude to bicycle licensing?

A. Supportive.　　 B. Cautious.

C. Negative.　　 D. Doubtful.

3.On the Metro closure day_______.

A. people enjoy free Bikeshare membership

B. public transportation is unavailable

C. most people walk to work

D. people have one day off

4.What does the underlined word “pedestrian” in the first paragraph mean in Chinese?

A. 乘客　　 B. 顾客

C. 行人　　 D. 过路人
