BIKE SNOBS for BLOOMBERG?


not a huge fan of Mike Bloomberg, but he does love his bike lanes, which is about the best thing we can say about any mayor of NYC that we've encountered so far....




Both of Bloomberg's mayoral rivals, Thompson and Avella, have vowed to get rid of Alternative Transportation Rock Star Janette Sadik-Khan, before ripping up new bike lanes and giving them back to SUV and minivan drivers so we're somewhat inclined to vote for Bloomberg, but we're not thrilled about his wholehearted endorsement of the Atlantic Yards landgrab, and his silence regarding what looks to be the boondogglization of Pier 6 near the Brooklyn Bridge. What's an NYC bike lover to do in the voting booth?
