Holy Rollers: New York's Bicycling Zealots
Ben McGrath in the New Yorker profiles Critical Mass a bit, some people who
are sick of bicyclists on the sidewalk, and mo http://www.newyorker.com/fact/conten.../061113fa_fact There's this interesting choice point, albeit a bit dramatic: "Bernardin used to ride a bike,... Then, about ten years ago, he was riding north on Sixth Avenue, "doing everything legal," he says, when another biker came tearing around the corner, "illegally," at Twenty-second Street and clipped him; he spilled, and barely missed having his head crushed by a passing car. The incident could be a Rorschach for civic activists. To a cycling advocate, what's salient is the fact that Bernardin was nearly killed by an automobile. Bernardin, however, saw two agents obeying the traffic laws-himself and the car driver-and a third who, by flouting them, introduced the element of danger." -- Mike Kruger Blog: http://zbicyclist.blogspot.com/ |
