WASHINGTON - D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty's passion for athletics is well known in the area.

But many people are unaware of how the mayor's rigid training schedule is impacting public safety and traffic in the area.

The mayor trains with his competitive cycling team, D.C. Velo, on the streets of D.C. and in the Maryland suburbs several days a week, usually in the middle of the day.

What's wrong with him? This may be the last straw for Fenty. I don't think D.C. is too happy with him in a lot of ways.

Yeah I think it's kind of tone-deaf for him to be taking advantage of his position. I understand needing a security detail, but he needs to follow the rules because he's setting an example.

From everything I've read about him and seen on t.v., he's pretty arrogant and could probably care less about safety, rules, and what his constituents think about him.

On NBC4 at 5 p.m., they are going to do a segment on this story.

I just saw it. He did not represent himself well
