Ye who ride to and from the GWB, help (a) is, or (b) may be on the way
From today's Streetsblog--and shame covers those of you who don't read it daily:
__________
Responding to years of citizen advocacy and a resolution from Manhattan Community Board 12, DOT has proposed bike lanes for a number of streets in Upper Manhattan.
Most of the lanes, concentrated in Washington Heights [PDF], would be installed next year, after a consultation with CB 12 this fall. One would be protected by parked cars.
Sir Lance of the Dopers
Dude, can't help himself.
I have a small (albeit passionate) blog that some of you here have kindly visited once or twice when I put up cycling-related posts or videos (it's mostly a running blog).
Not sure why it hit me yesterday, but I was thinking about Lance and what a fool I was to belive him all those years and Tweeted a link to the post I wrote after he went on Oprah (http://bit.ly/LyingLance). I even Tweeted at him in the hopes he would read it.
Postponed to Sunday - "Three Rings for the Bikin' Kings and Queens"
