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.
I don’t think Baumbach lives in the neighborhood though.
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????
signs for bikers? I mean, what a waste of my tax dollars.
Once they have that thing between their legs, rules and laws no longer apply.
Yeah, Pete is correct on the movie. Sounds like will be a good flick (as opposed to flip – no homo).
“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.
right, Noah Baumbach.
Where is Cobble? Is she lurking, or is she hungover again???

What does the bicycle of a Master of The Universe look like???
