It's so ridiculous how the Hasidic community is basing their fight against the addition of bike lanes on their concern for the safety of bikers, pedestrians, and cars. It's far more dangerous to not have clearly marked bike lines. I'm sure the sudden appearance of "scantily-clad bikers" has nothing to do with their opposition.

I'm happy for scantily clad bicyclists to come down my street. Scantily clad bikers - not so much.
