Bike Share Not Disastery Enough For Local Tab

Sadly for the New York Post — a paper whose hatred of bikes and those who use them is so beyond all sense of reason or proportion that one is forced to believe it is actually genuine rather than something affected to sell papers or directed by the whims of its owner — no one died in yesterday’s rollout of the new bank bike share program, so instead the seekers of truth who staff that periodical were forced to focus on the minor malfunctions attendant to any new enterprise. You will be shocked to learn that they were also able to find a few New Yorkers — a group usually united by its reticence to discuss personal inconveniences lest it be seen as griping — willing to register their displeasure, although none was as delightful a complainant as the “adjunct English professor at Columbia University who lives in SoHo” dug up by sister paper the Wall Street Journal, whose residential proximity to one of the racks has induced such terror that, she reveals, “I have horrors of seeing someone die from my apartment window.” Nobody tell her about what cars do to pedestrians, okay? Anyway, did you ride a bike/see someone die/walk by one of the 9 million racks in the city this weekend? Tell us in the comments!
