NYPD will facilitate your death and make sure it goes unpunished
Now it is personal. In October, I posted about some of the efforts made by the James Caldwell, the 77th NYPD Precinct and the cycling community here in Brooklyn in the wake of Jasmine Herron's death. I have not put too much info out here as these various efforts take shape, as it is not really within the scope or tone of this joke of a blog. However, at the moment circumstances have occurred which illustrate the nature of the battle pedestrians and cyclists are fighting here on the streets of New York City. So I am touching on this politically sensitive matter. Last night, a close personal friend of mine was hit by a reckless, speeding cab while on his bicycle. His account, with [my edits and clarifications] in brackets... So... Due to circumstances, I rode out in the middle of the night, ... left around 1 AM, making my way [on] Bedford heading south. I heard/saw a car heading east on St. Marks Ave, so I stopped in the [crosswalk] and waited. A taxi rounded the corner really sharp...
where did you find this picture?!
ReplyDeleteas I recall we were all in the ride.. so this must have taken some digging to unearth.
great to see the Great White Way showing tan lines ;-)
I must confess I have yet to get DoubleBen's permission to use his pic from Flickr.
ReplyDeleteBut it is my very favorite. We are naked in the midst of the machine. Our bodies against its cold electricity.
