Are there any guerilla movements to simply take parking spaces from cars. From the picture, it looks as though this could be thrown up in a couple of hours, with proper preparation. Realistically, though, this may create even more ill-will towards cyclists. But who knows, a guy can dream.

[...] And following up on our recent land-guzzling theme, here is a letter written to the Parks Department regarding Prospect Park cycling conditions. I am a Prospect Heights homeowner who uses the park for cycling and running 5 or 6 days a week. [...]

MFS,

Your comment makes one wonder: How long do you think it took the City of Montreal to install this 50-bike parking facility? One day? Maybe a week? It really doesn't look very complicated or expensive to throw a couple of bike racks up on the street. What could possibly be taking NYC DOT so long? Man, if I were a member of the Community Board in Williamsburg, I think I might just get approval from my Board, raise a few bucks, go out and install a bike rack myself and see what happens.

I think the enormously influential 18th century Scottish philosopher David Hume has a more holistic view that avoids the determinism trap one runs into when dabbling in utilitarianism. But for your purposes, the random philosopher you picked will probably do.

He looks so... how can I say this: taciturn.

Perhaps this item is related! DOT has promised a 50-bike parking facility build in the place of a parking spot next to the Bedford L entrance for a couple years now. I remember the bike cutting the 94th did in the summer of 2004 was supposed to speed up the process, but I guess to no avail.
