  1. Noah Baumbach….

    This is putting some song in my head from the 60s…Norman Birmbaum or someone..can’t find it on google

    Lyrics are something like:

    I knew a man named Jesus
    Going to go up to the spirit in the sun

    Anybody????

  2. “I haven’t walked the Brooklyn Bridge in a while but I thought there were signs requiring bikers to dismount and walk their bikes.”

    I’ve never seen these signs, Slopey. Besides, all the Bridge bikers I know only know how to mount, but never know when to dismount. (No homo)

    Dave, I dunno, it was clearly one of those ‘spensive Eurotrash brands.

  3. I haven’t walked the Brooklyn Bridge in a while but I thought there were signs requiring bikers to dismount and walk their bikes. You can’t win with this territorial stuff. I was biking back from the GAP Greenmarket through the Park one Saturday morning this summer (early, with the coveted blackfish, no less) and the loop was mostly closed for a bike race, only the weekday bike and walk lanes were open. I was in the bike lane and there was a gaggle of walkers (not, I repeat, not a stroller situation, btw) walkign towards me in the bike lane. Rather than swerve right into the bike race and die trying to avoid them, I swerved left into the run/walk lane, only to be yelled at by a jogger (“stay in the f%^&ing bike line, a$$hole!”). You can’t win.
