Williamsburg Newsflash: Hasidic Jews Lust After Hot Chicks On Bikes

This is actually old news but still pretty funny.

New York Post reports a culture clash in Williamsburg:

"Leaders of South Williamsburg's Hasidic community said yesterday that bike lanes that bring scantily clad cyclists - especially sexy women - peddling through their neighborhood are definitely not kosher.

The red-faced religious sect is calling on city officials to eliminate the car-free lanes on Wythe and Bedford avenues, and to delay construction of a new one planned for Kent Avenue.

"I have to admit, it's a major issue, women passing through here in that dress code," Simon Weisser, a member of Community Board 1 in Williamsburg-Greenpoint, told The Post.

"It bothers me, and it bothers a lot of people."

Hasids are forbidden from looking at members of the opposite sex who aren't fully dressed, said local activist Isaac Abraham."
