Which Mayoral Candidate Is the Legit “Bike Candidate”?
Anthony Weiner
In 2010, Weiner famously told Bloomberg, “When I become mayor, you know what I’m going to spend my first year doing? I’m going to have a bunch of ribbon-cuttings tearing out your fucking bike lanes.” Now he says that he was just kidding—oh, uh, really funny—except, you know, he would also remove some bike lanes, “starting with the Broadway bike lane that runs close to his current residence in Gramercy,” Streetsblog reports. Still, he wants to be the “bike candidate,” Capital New York reports: he’s got ideas for encouraging employers to encourage their employees to commute by bike and stuff. But no serious supporter of cyclists should consider voting for this dope. [photo]
