Repainting Bike Lanes
NYC cylists repaint bike lane.
Basically what happened was a popular bike route was un-bike-laned. The City of New York painted over them, and some cyclists decided to put them back. Nice job folks! Want to come paint some bike lanes in Boston? I’ll buy you all beers. Seriously.
I like this idea: can we do this here? Why wait until existing bike lanes are taken away? We should just put bike lines wherever we want.

UPDATE:
So, the reason that the bike lanes were taken away is because of the Hasidic Jew population in Williamsburg.
The Hasidim were complaining that girls biking through were too scantily clad, and that it became difficult to not-look at them (as mandated by Hasidic Law). Or, so says the Post, but I’m not sure how much stock I’d put in this particular part of the report.
As a secular Jew, I’d like to think that I have the right to complain about the Hasidim …. but I don’t. I’m just going to let that hang…. and never complain about the Hasidim again.
