NYC beats down on cyclists
... are being held in NYC this summer: Cycle Messenger World Championship web site. Mmm fixie. The dates (originally 30 June through 4 July, yeee-haw) are now up in the air as the NYPD have not granted approval for that weekend.
I was amazed to see a sign in the window of the meeting place on Houston explaining that advertising Critical Mass was illegal: the Parks Department huffily claims that gatherings of more than 20 people require a permit. I was tickled to see the menu board at florent bearing the day's special omelet and a subversive advert for the previous night's Critical Mass.
