Hipsters Fail To Stage Topless Bike Protest

So, there was a bike lane in the hipster haven of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, but it eventually extended south, to a neighborhood of people who hate hipsters... and bicyclist. After some residents complained about "scantily-clad women" riding through their religious communities, the bike lane was painted over. (A guerrilla lane that was painted in place of the painted-over lane was, in turn, painted over.)
Area activists decided to do a topless bike ride, in the dead of winter, to protest the city's caving in to the demands of a small but powerful group of wussies-- and to stick it in the face of those wussies. (After all, seriously, how many "scantily-clad women" have you ever seen riding bikes? It doesn't really lend itself to lingerie, after all.) Unfortunately, they decided to stage their showdown on the very day that New York was hit by a massive snowstorm... and this was the result:
Instead, they wore the boobs on the outside, see? It kinda works, we guess...
The video is via the Daily News.
Gothamist has a great story here featuring a cop complaining: "I want to see some boobs!" Seriously.

NYC should follow Philly's example.
That is my favorite headline of the entire year.
*Area activists decided to do a topless bike ride, in the dead of winter, to protest the city’s caving in to the demands of a small but powerful group of wussies– and to stick it in the face of those wussies.*
Just to name the nameless, that would be the Satmar Hasidim, as moronic and misogynist as any other group of superstitious killjoy yeast people you'll meet out there.
