stormdogAnother bit found in research (this time for my poli-sci paper) that's too good not to share. And that will warm the hearts of car-skeptical urbanists like myself.
"I would like to know why it is that the police permit these begoggled ruffians to have things all their own way. It is a fact that they go so fast that the bicycle policeman are unable, in a majority of cases, to overtake them, if they try."
This, from an anonymous "old resident on upper Broadway", quoted in the 22 November 1903 New York Times, in an article called "Chauffeurs Who Imperil Lives."
Shouldn't The Begoggled Ruffians be a band?
