Not in MY neighborhood, no way!

Here, from the NY Times, is a piece describing a squabble between local Hassidic Jews in Brooklyn and cyclists trying to ride through their 'hood. I readily admit: I never expected to read a story like this one....

Six-point-five in Denver this morning. Minus six-point-five....

The beauty-part is how the Mayor's office admits to removing the lanes in order to gain votes for the recent election. Hey, points for honesty!

Law of unintended consequences: Now hipsters will be taking up the full lane and blocking traffic while still exposing the delicate Hasim eyes to butt cracks.

I resent religion more and more every day...

Not sure what is funnier. The Hasidim reaction to scantily clad cyclists, or the cyclist in the picture riding the wrong way in a door-zone bike lane while bearing down fast on a ped in a crosswalk.

Maybe these people just deserve each other.

Maynard. I haven't spoken with you in years- since Chico. Please get in touch when you can, it would be wonderful to catch up- maybe over a cup of coffee. Hope all is well. David Rose; dave@fixmybike.com
