    Hmm:

    "A small portion of this lane is being removed as part of ongoing bike network adjustments in the area, which have included the recent addition of a barrier-protected connector lane on nearby Williamsburg Street and the completion of a unique, two-way protected lane on parallel Kent Avenue," Department of Transportation spokesman Seth Solomonow told NBCNewYork.com. "We will continue to work with any community on ways we can make changes to our streets without compromising safety."

    So it's been re-routed, it seems. Are there no Hasids on Williamsburg Street or Kent Avenue? Or do the Hasids there just have better control over themselves? The safety issue DOES seem trumped up. This is because safety is the ONLY way that the Hasids can legitimately control how a public street gets used. Were I a hipster, I would demand to see the safety study that led to this decision.

    But I would also continue my practice of showering once or twice a day, and would soon be shunned.

    Kudos to the hipsterettes who plan on cycling with their tatas out in protest. There's nothing like a parade of sad, pale, floppy, underdone pancakes sailing down Bedford to communicate discontent.

    @BettyCrocker: I laughed too hard now I can't stop coughing.

    Just a little background on Kent Ave. & Williamsburg St. - This leads to the on-ramp/off-ramp of the BQE. It's heavily trafficed by large trucks plus all the other BQE traffic.

    Williamsburg St. is a narrow two lane stretch that becomes 3 lanes from west of Kent Ave to east of Flushing Ave - 1 block - for the purpose of directing traffic to and from the BQE.

    I'd really love to see how this is safer than say Lee Ave or Bedford Ave both of which are residential streets that join Williamsburg to more civilized parts of Brooklyn.

    WELL, according to you folks, all hipsters are from the midwest, and being a midwesterner (but not a hipster) you're taught how to square dance in gym class and yeah, it is pretty fun. Don't be jealous you don't know the steps...

    This is ridiculous. Leave it to hipsters to arrogate another artform and call it their own. Young folks in Texas have been doing this sort of thing forever; we just don't brag about it.* Go to any KJT or SPJST on a Saturday night in Central Texas — it ain't full-on square dancing but it's square, and it's dancing, and it's ranchers-by-day-accordionists-by-night whipping out the coolest polka/country/oompah music you'll ever hear. Oh, and Catholic nuns will pour you a $3 pitcher of beer! It's the best.

    *bragging about it.
