this line is priceless:

In Brooklyn, Google steers cyclists into the path of anti-bike Hasidic Jews by designating Bedford Avenue between Division and Flushing avenues in Williamsburg as a legitimate bike route.

in order to truly appreciate the above line you need to know the area in brooklyn they are talking about, i just laughed myself silly when i read this.
