NEW YORK — Bicyclists who planned to go topless to protest the removal of a Brooklyn bike lane switched gears Saturday, pinning plastic breasts to their jackets as they rolled into a snowstorm.
Dozens of bikers joined a protest called the “Freedom Ride” to oppose the removal of a bike path in Williamsburg, an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood.
But the fierce snowstorm in New York kept them from pedaling topless as planned.
The hipster cyclists blame Mayor Michael Bloomberg
for the loss of the lane because Williamsburg’s Hasidic Jewish residents “can’t handle scantily clad women” on wheels, said bike messenger Heather Loop, who organized the action.
The bikers’ tactics did not amuse some faithful Hasids leaving synagogue services with their families on the Sabbath. They rushed home.
Bloomberg had removed the bike path because members of the Satmar branch of Judaism “don’t want to see women in shorts,” said Baruch Herzfeld, who runs a bike-sharing program in a community where Jewish women wear hefty skirts and long-sleeved blouses and men wear heavy coats and hats, even in summer.
“The rabbis want to keep their people in the 18th century, and they don’t want the world to intrude into their enclave,” Herzfeld said.
But Leo Moskowitz, a Williamsburg resident with five children, insists the main issue is safety. “Kids can be knocked over because school buses are not allowed to stop in the bike lane — it’s dangerous,” said Moskowitz, who acknowledges he feels “very uncomfortable” seeing women bare their legs in public.
It was too cold to do that Saturday.
Still, the riders made their point, obeying traffic signals as police watched.
They had gathered earlier Saturday at a Williamsburg bar called the Wrecked Door.
Lyla Durden took a last puff from her cigarette on the street before rolling off into the flake-filled night with other protesters who believe the Bedford Avenue bike path should be restored.More at Source
In the days when the Irish were big in NYC the roman catholic church had a law passed to prohibit sales of alcohol before 1pm on Sunday.
The clear purpose was to shoo the Irish faithful into mass.
Another reason why I left NYC. Too much Mickey Mouse (c) for me.
Now it is run by the Jew and we all know what happens wherever the Jew finds happiness. As for the bike path, I guess it goes in reverse “Whenever the jew see the gentile has found happiness the jew becomes miserable and seeks to ruin the Goy” Even if it something as small as a bicycle lane.
I do not know anymore, I wish I could rewind the table of time and put blinders on again and be happy and carefree as in my wreckless teens but those days have ended “The days of wine and roses”
This story is funny in so many directions,
but aggravating none the less that Jews can take away a bike lane in a public place because it does not fit well with their private beliefs.
The jews whole life is to destroy Western Civilization in any and all means.This is perfectly clear and can be seen thru the destruction of everyday life and what it means to souls.
This is unrelated but our leaders in congress has voted for Commie healthcare, Now uncle Sambo can tell us what to eat,drink, and deny us medical treatment if we smoke. I love America but I at this time wish I could afford to move to Europe. Unfortunantly I do not think I will be accepted as an asylum seeker annd there is no subsidized mansion for me to live in.
Tough S*** for the jews. They will win this one though, because one of theirs is in city hall.
Separation, not seperation.
What if Gentiles in a Gentile neighborhood don’t want to see Hasidic Jewish people in their outfits walking or riding bilkes because it assaults their sensibilities?
Look out, because the leftwing nuts in the SPLC and ACLU would be in court so fast screamin about ‘civil rights’.
Ahh another Dave. And he thinks like I do!
These orthodox Jews are weird. They have clout because they are Jews,but do not seem to be the same ones who destroy the world…
still Jews none the less…
