Found this cool video on Doobybrain.com.. It’s of Austin Horse from Brooklyn Machine Works went head to head with a Mercedes GLK to see who could get from Harlem to the other side of the Brooklyn Bridge the quickest. Given the insane day-time traffic in NYC, it’s no surprise who won this race…
Apparently, the reason why bike lanes were removed by the city on Bedford Avenue NY was that the Hasidim in Williamsburg, Brooklyn began to complain in September about the overly sexy female bikers who use the Bedford Avenue bike lane.
The Bedford Avenue bike lane is a major artery through Brooklyn and to the Williamsburg Bridge, with part of it traversing a neighborhood that is densely Hasid-populated. The men of the Hasidic community has pressured the city to remove the offending corridor, to protect them from the possibility of seeing women ride by in tank tops and shorts and skirts and other shocking states of undress.
Looks like Candy Cranks want to organize a naked ride through that neighborhood. I say … lets do this!!!
New York City bicyclists repaint 14 blocks of bike lane on Bedford Avenue after they were removed by NYC DOT. Not sure if that was a good decision or a bad one especially after NY cops got involved and arrested couple of these bike activists. There is also a planned group ride down Bedford Ave at 99 s 6th on Sunday 12/13/09 at 3pm to protest bike lane removal.

The combination of functionality and form made the Spetsnaz a popular choice for city riders, couriers and weekend warriors alike. Clean lines, simple design and sturdy construction have made this jacket a perfect shell for any situation. Whether you are bee-lining it through city traffic on a bike or just feel the need to look good, the Spetsnaz Mark III jacket offers a little something for everyone.

The Standard took 20 of the 1000 PK Ripper Fixed gear bike to make a super limited edition bike, 15 of these bikes will be at The Standard in NYC to be used by there customers and 5 will be sold online at there online store.
