At 2:00 p.m. today, the District of Columbia officially opened the new Pennsylvania Avenue bike lanes. All the cool kids attended the opening ceremony, including Mayor Fenty, US DOT Secretary Ray LaHood, Congressmen Blumenauer and Oberstar, and DDOT Director Gabe Klein, among others.

Friend of BeyondDC David Patton swung by and snapped these pictures:

Thanks a million, David!
