Now Look Who's Blocking Bike Lanes!

Not long after blogger Felix Salmon spotted the egregious baby bike lane block yesterday, the situation on Grand Street rapidly deteriorated, judging by this photo submitted by reader B. Nunn. The only thing missing here is a cop car and a boat... Oh, and a crazy cyclist to run them all over, of course.

This looks shopped.

I can tell from some of the pixels, and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

Why are Sad Don Draper, Struttin' Leo, Sad Keanu, disaster girl, etc etc not in this bike lane?

Without the sidewalk rat this is a disappointing FAIL.

Don't give anyone any ideas - pretty soon people will be demanding canoe/kayak lanes. You'll be walking down the street and someone will yell "Get outta the canal dumbass!"

No bedbugs?

They are assembling an army right as we speak

The couple with the paddles are in a boat.

I think that photo has been shopped.

There's no way the guys with the hand-trucks are walking on the sidewalk instead of the bike lane.

What the fuck don't you get about cop cars parking in the bike lanes? They can't sit in the middle of the street. The lane is on the side. Otherwise cars can't get through. Be fucking practical. I ride bikes but I know how to make practical assessments. There is infrastructure here.
