A group of bikers in Williamsburg have painted renegade bike lanes in a Hasid neighborhood after they were removed by the city because they “posed both a safety and religious hazard.” Hipsters are usually too affectedly apathetic to start a religious war, but if you take away their fixies, you had better watch your back.
