BSNYC Friday Luxury Williamsburg Condo Building With Shoddy Worksmanship!

There's no surer sign of springtime in New York City than when the anti-cycling cockblockers emerge from their hidey-holes and resume their seasonal efforts to outlaw the act of riding a bicycle.  Usually these efforts involve some sort of licensing or registration scheme.  This time though, it's a mandatory helment law, since the imminent bike share program is evidently sending them into a state of panic:

(Yeah, like I'm going to pay money to read the Wall Street Journal.)

At the risk of triggering a helment debate, mandatory helment laws are a key component of the anti-cycling conspiracy in this country.  Basically, the idea is that, instead of treating you like a human being and providing you with a sensible infrastructure, they force you to wear a foam yarmulke and tell you to ride your bike like you're driving a car--because, as the refrain goes, you have all the same rights to the road as a motor vehicle driver already so you don't need anything else except safety gear.  (And of course cars and bikes are exactly the same anyway, right?)  Then, once they get you used to having to wear your foam hat but your fellow cyclists keep getting killed, they'll shut you up by forcing you to wear some sort of padding, and then you'll have to get some sort of protective roll cage for your bike, and then maybe add an extra set of wheels so the bike is more stable, and then you'll be required to license and register your four-wheeled human-powered dune buggy, and it will take you an hour every morning just to get into your mandatory protective cycling spacesuit, and you'll have to pay for a parking space for your giant safe-cycle anyway, and eventually you'll just "get with the program" and say, "Fuck it, I'm leasing a Hyundai."

But of course they're not going to admit that.  Instead, people like David Greenfield, the guy who's flogging this bill, says stuff like this:

"The best way to get killed if you're riding a bicycle is to not wear a helmet," Mr. Greenfield said. "We want to encourage people to be safe."

Actually, I can think of some better ways to get killed on a bicycle (or on foot) in New York City.  How about getting run over by a reckless or careless motorist, who knows there are no consequences for their behavior?  Or how about just getting "doored" by a driver who's too lazy to actually run you over, and who then leaves the scene because your death will make her late to a party?  (There are no consequences for that scenario either, by the way.)  But don't worry, I had a Twitter exchange with Greenfield, and he assures me he's got the whole dangerous driver problem licked:


Wow, a Tweet!  Of course, the Deputy Mayor already realizes that Greenfield is what we semi-professional bike bloggers call a "putz."   That notwithstanding, I was amazed to learn that a single Tweet actually counts as "doing something" in the world of law and politics--especially when that Tweet is issued by someone like Greenfield, who has about as many Twitter followers as a second-rate fixed-gear freestyler.  Naturally, if Tweeting is really that powerful I figured I should try it too.  So I took to my own Twitter account and proceeded to like totally end the economic crisis:


Then I raised a revered actor from the dead:


And then I figured I might as well share my feelings with a company called Spangler Candy, which is a leading manufacturer of the comestible known as the "Circus Peanut:"


Done, and done.

Of course, an anti-cycling conspiracy would be nothing without a media mouthpiece, and here in New York City we have CBS News, who famously suggested cycling terrorists might use bike lanes to blow up the Israeli consulate.  Naturally, they're behind the proposed helment law too, and they had this to say on the issue:


Seattle is often held up as a place that gets bike policies right.  So, the question beckons: what’s the law in Seattle when it comes to bike helmets?


They’ve been mandatory for all riders since 2003.

Obviously they're confusing Seattle with Portland, since Seattle is a paradigm of successful policies just like Kabul is a hotbed of wild and sexy spring break action.  Actually, they're probably "confusing" them intentionally as sort of a bait-and-switch, since to the average non-cycling New Yorker all rain-soaked Pacific Northwestern cities are pretty much interchangeable anyway.


In any case, they say you can judge a man by the company he keeps, and Greenfield moves in auspicious circles indeed.  In fact, he has a friend who can eat a whole pie!

(A pie, you say?  Of pizza?)

I'd love to be around when David Greenfield rounds up his old college buddies for a night of partying.  "Guys, you have to come over tonight, Doug's going to eat a whole pie of pizza again!"  I imagine his friend who can eat a pie himself is a more nebbishy version of Will Ferrell's character in "Old School."

Anyway, Greenfield's district in Brooklyn now joins my "Places to Go Pee-Pee" list, just under Piermont.

Now, I'm pleased to present you with a quiz.  As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer.  If you're right then yaaay!!!, and if you're wrong then booo!!!--and also you'll see a tall bike.

Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and ride non-nonplussed.

Little Miss Panties said...

While "Circus Peanuts" may technically fit the definition of comestible, inasmuch as people who don't know any better actually put them in their mouths, chew, and swallow, they don't really fit the spirit of the notion of comestibility, since a styrofoam peanut rolled in way too much powdered sugar would taste about the same. Or for that matter, just gnaw the innards out of your bike helmet, since I'm all in favor of wearing a helmet until somebody tells me it's a law, and then I develop a strange longing to have my brain bashed out on the pavement/hood of an SUV, just to prove that it's my brain and I can scramble them if I want to.

If no Americans step up to the plate, he will reluctantly settle for a Canadian.

My ride with the most discomfort to distance ratio was very short and extremely uncomfortable. I lived on a hill in Syracuse, New York, and after eating a big dinner at a Mexican restaurant at the bottom of the hill,, I thought it would be a great idea to bike up the hill, which I had never done before.

So I rode up the hillside in my granny gear with a belly full of queso and dos equis, and regret the decision to this day.

PS - Queso is Spanish-American for cheese.

PPS - You go girl! Tell that councilman he's a d-bag! The streetsblog link at the end was brilliant! It just oozed smugness!

Construction of the 'Cipodrome' has begun. For years the women of the world who have been 'Cippollinied' have been searching for a place to hold their annual gathering at which they celebrate their intense but often brief encounter with possibly the mightiest swordsman of all time and space.

Once completed 'Cipodrome' will house a museum devoted the Cipo's exploits outside of cycling. An 'Il Parata' annex will feature women who were intimate with Marco Pantani who 'back in the day' received Cipo's babe overflow as a gesture of mutual respecto.

Archetectual plans envision a Cipodrome that will easily hold 10,000 women. There are provisions in the plans for expansion seeing that 'The Loin King' is still extremely hetrosexually active.

I rode to the intersection near work, in the distant suburbs, on the weekend, just to see if it was a feasible ride. By the time I got there I was tired and hungry.

I got a cheeseburger and a beer at a lousy restaurant at that intersection. There are no good restaurants there. The beer was good.

I rode home. I was tired. I could have ridden the subway part of the distance back, but I had spent all my money on that cheeseburger and beer. When I got home I was even more tired. Anguish. Epic.

One trillion bonus points, please.

David Greenfield is the same guy who made a grandstanding YouTube video after the big blizzard last year.

In which he accused the city of making bike lanes the "number one priority" of snowplows. And practically accused the mayoral administration of killing its own hapless citizens by not letting oil deliveries through, and blocking ambulances with snowbanks. Or transfering all the snow from bike lanes into the path of ambulances. Or something like that.

Here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yZghyYp4Ss

Unfortch, as you can see in the video, the city did a pretty crappy job plowing the bike lane. So I guess they can't even get their "number one priority" right.

My longest ride was a metric double century. I rode from my hometown to the north side of a one store town out in the middle of nowhere. I stopped at that store and bought one of those snack packages of cheese and whatever else comes in them.

Not my first choice for a snack on a ride but it happened to catch my eye at that store being there just was not much else there.

And he is looking forward to going pee pee in Mr. Greenfiled's neighborhood, especially in the neighborhood of Mr. Greenfield's trouser leg.

Interesting quote from per deputy mayor,

“There’s a direct correlation between people not wearing helmets, and dying. I have yet to meet somebody who picked up a Big Gulp and just fell down on the spot and had a heart attack,” Greenfield told CBS 2′s Tony Aiello.

Sodas are know more for their propensity to contribute to type 2 diabetes and obesity. Poor diet from many sources, over many years, causes the clogging of the cardiac arteries that lead to a heart attack.

Also, I am perplexed as to why he is choosing to focus on bicycle helment laws instead of a real issue.

rented a dutch bike while in amsterdam last week for work (the bike weighed about 100lbs and was somewhat unwieldy). anyway, I stopped at a cafe and got baked and then went to a pannakoeken huis and had a savory salami and cheese pancake. it was epically delicious.

by the way everyone rides a bike in amsterdam and almost no one wears a helmet. the difference there is the drivers and pedestrians are aware of the cyclists. it's a fucking stupid idea to make cyclists bear the responsibility of bad drivers by wearing a helmet. It should be a personal choice.

At least the Cat 6 guy used proper grammar with "you're".

Once, on a Rapha Gentleman's Race, I used tons of organic, artesanal chamois cream. The climbs were plenty and often and I needed every bit of the friction fighting properties to make it to the bottom of the final climb. While the previous efforts were various iterations of epic, (Epic, ePic, EPIc, etc.), the final climb was nothing short of EPIC! With glory on my mind and outrageously overpriced Chinese wool on my back I attacked. The furious piston action of my legs spread feelings of defeat in my opponents and, at the same time, created a delicious spreadable cheese made of chamois cream in my bibs. There were also crackers at the finish. I paired it with an Oregon Pinot Gris. Delicious.

Our Seattle mayor loves bikes. That is good. But he hates cars, and that does nada to further the conversation. Amsterdam works because the parties don't hate each other.

There are two types of cheese son. You have your tubular cheese and then you have your clincher cheese.

There are two types of 'air cheese' son. You have your schrader air cheese and you have your presta air cheese.

Yes my son. Indeed. Both can be cut.

Cut the cheese boy!

I was tooling down a bubonic English countryside lane with a large hill to my right, when a large wheel of cheese few by me (boy did it stink). Moments later a herd of people ran by me "chasing the cheese", as they say in Jolly Old England, (boy did they stink). Next came a herd of young women being chased by a guy with more teeth than the reaction to a strong Gorgonzola will expose. EPIC!

Don't Bogart that Cheese said...

Anon said: "I got a cheeseburger and a beer at a lousy restaurant at that intersection." I ate there too, but I don't think it was real cheese. They never took the plastic wrap off the piece that went on my burger. A sure sign that the restaurant staff didn't want to inhale the chemical fumes from faux cheese. Greenberg eats there all of the time, always orders a cheeseburger.

This Mr Greenfield should come over to visit Europe and see that it´s bike lanes that make cyclists safe, not helmet laws.
What an idiot...

HEY GUYS! I am traveling the entire USA (but not really) trying to sample every known style of cheese specific to each region(actually it's beer I sample) and if you could chip in just a little bit for daily consumables (well, mostly video poker and hookers) it would be greatly appreciated (no, really I could not be less grateful. Give me some damn money, I have a flat).

A cyclist in Boston was just killed by an MBTA bus Friday night. She was "DEFINITELY" wearing her helmet (said friends.) Oddly, a friend (appearing on the news) also said that the deceased used to live in NYC and felt very comfortable biking there but much less safe doing so in Boston.

That Cheese Healment looks pretty damn baller, give those Wisconsin fools some serious scalp fromage.

It is weird how when you’re about ready to inhale something, your eyes focus in on it and watch it go right into your mouth. That was the case here, but I couldn’t do anything about it. It got stuck somewhere down in my throat, it didn’t make it to my lungs. So, I spent the next 5 minutes trying to cough and dislodge it. Alternating coughing and sipping water didn’t seem to do the trick.
