The Best Places to Live in NYC - The Clash Between Hasids and Hipsters in Williamsburg -- New York Magazine
"The pro-bike side is represented by three women: Caroline Samponaro of Transportation Alternatives, an advocacy group; Lyla Durden, a biker; and Heather Loop, an activist whose big idea after the lane erasure was to stage a topless bike ride through the neighborhood. It got snowed out. The debate begins, such as it is. Abraham opens with an admission of bias: A bike knocked down his wife once. “Who was this guy?” he asks half-rhetorically. “And who do I sue?” Samponaro’s first sentence somehow packs in a nod to her birthday (“Whoo!”), Haiti, and Hurricane Katrina. Loop introduces herself as the author of the topless-ride initiative, “which God stopped with a blizzard,” she adds. “Damn him!”"

(anti critical mass post) critical mass makes cycling seem like an extreme, activist activity: "He'll realise that in order to ride his bike he would have to infiltrate a sub-culture populated by individuals very unlike himself."
