The first thing I noticed about article was that they managed to show a photo of someone going the wrong way - against the giant arrow on the road - down a green bike lane. The photographer couldn't have waited a minute or two for someone NOT going against traffic?
Or perhaps the editor simply is clueless. But I find it depressing that the NY Times would have fallen in talent to the point where they would employ anyone so blind that s/he couldn't see the obvious flaw in the photo. And then they put in this caption, "RE-ENGINEERING New York has done much to improve safety, with projects like this bike lane near Columbus Circle."
