NYC Bike Culture Summit THURSDAY
May 5, 20101 Comment on NYC Bike Culture Summit THURSDAY
This is tomorrow, folks! Get your tickets here. Sorry for the late notice.
As urban cycling expands by leaps and bounds, how is bicycle culture changing? The image and ethos of commuters, racers proponents of “cycle chic” and outlaw cycling vie with each other to define what it means to be an urban cyclist. Transportation Alternatives brings together leading pundits of bicycle culture to debate the bike culture issues:
* Do cyclists need to rehabilitate their public persona?
* To what extent should safety trump convenience and style?
* Will protected bike lanes segregate cyclists?
* Is Critical Mass a boon or a liability for the bike movement?
* What can be done about sexism in the cycling community?

Patrick Pogan: Guilty. Sort of.
April 29, 20101 Comment on Patrick Pogan: Guilty. Sort of.
Update: Analysis of the verdict.
The New York police officer who allegedly body slammed a cyclist during a Critical Mass ride was found guilty of falsifying his report in which he claimed he the cyclist assaulted Pogan, and Pogan merely hit back in self defense.
Strangely, the jury acquitted Pogan of the assault charge, which is exactly what he lied about in his police report.
So, if Pogan didn’t actually assault Christopher Long, why exactly would Pogan lie about it?
