Bike lanes bring too much sexiness (…apparently)
…at least according to Hasidic community South Williamsburg in Brooklyn. They find the attractive women on their bikes so outrageous they want to do away with the bike lanes altogether. *sigh* religion.
The red-faced religious sect is calling on city officials to eliminate the car-free lanes on Wythe and Bedford avenues, and to delay construction of a new one planned for Kent Avenue.
“I have to admit, it’s a major issue, women passing through here in that dress code,” Simon Weisser, a member of Community Board 1 in Williamsburg-Greenpoint, told The Post.
“It bothers me, and it bothers a lot of people.”

2,865 stolen bikes?!
What the hell?! 2,865?! Talk about a problem…
The perp, Igor Kenk, and his mental patient taskforce seem to have been snatching up bikes in the Toronto area for some time now; he had even been known as the place to look for your bike after it was stolen. Well, apparently he was finally taken down and his grotesque collection of stolen bikes in his “shop”, home and 10 remote locations across the city!
What’s especially curious is the rationale here for such a insane number of thefts and the stockpiling that accompanied it. Seems to be three theories: a) He would sell the bikes through his illegal shop operation, b) He was a known metals speculator and was waiting for metals to spike again so he could melt the bikes down or c) he anticipated an energy apocolypse of sorts and wanted to be ready (or control the market). Seems to be c is actually the most likely. No way one person could ever sell that many bikes and its hard to imagine melting down that many bikes, especially disassembling them and sorting the metal types. Glad this nutjob is finally behind bars but also disappointed it took this long…

End of cheap oil = Shift in housing trend
The end of cheap oil is really turning out to be a great thing socially for this country. People are finally driving less and guess what: people are now considering living closer to their place of work! What a concept!
