Seeing Green had this to say about Wednesday’s subway crisis and the behavior of cyclists. Read more at Seeing Green.

It is said that adversity brings out the best in people. Not,
apparently in some of the cycling populace of New York (or is it
Brooklyn alone?). Yesterday’s storm caused commuting chaos, what with
subways closed, roads gridlocked and buses jammed.
So many were forced to walk on the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges
from our fair borough to Manhattan (as an aside, I must say that I am
very impressed by these commuters; faced with the walking to work, I’d
taken the day off.) You would think this would bring out a camaraderie
in the cyclists, preferring to see pedestrians rather than the mass of
commute vehicles normally around. But apparently not. Streetsblog ran a
post asking "How was your commute?" which had dozens of lively, entertaining stories about how bad it was and how people coped.

But what stood out, and I will admit to succumbing to the tyranny of
small numbers (where one places undue focus on a small number of events
rather than statistical norms, kinda like remembering the few times
your bus was late rather than the majority of times you did not have to
wait long,) is the sheer stupidity of certain cyclists. Faced with
hundreds of people walking the bridges, they had the temerity to
complain about pedestrians who impinged on their sacred bike path space.
