A Death in the Family
Fans for Fair Play expresses condolences to Steve Hindy and the Hindy family. The Brooklyn Brewery owner and Atlantic Yards supporter lost his son, Sam Hindy, this weekend in a very tragic cycling accident:
A terrible irony here is that Sam Hindy was a member of Critical Mass, the bicycle-rights group that Mike Bloomberg and Ray Kelly have made hell for the last couple of years. Sam died because of a breakdown in bike safety.
As a cycling enthusiast, maybe he should have known never to ride with cars and trucks on the Manhattan Bridge's roadway. Or perhaps, as some media have reported, the bridge's bike lane was blocked. If that's the case, there'll be a huge outcry from Critical Mass and all of us who believe the City Hall continues to ignore bike safety issues.
Tonight those issues get pushed aside. Flow of tears replaces the flow of traffic in Brooklyn
