NEW YORK Bicyclists planning a Saturday protest are calling it their "Freedom Ride" free of clothing, that is. And they may be pedaling naked in a fierce snowstorm, if the forecast holds.
The removal of clothing is meant as a protest over the removal of a bike lane in Williamsburg, an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn.
The activists want to go topless in front of Hasidic residents who "can't handle scantily clad women" on wheels, bike messenger Heather Loop told a local newspaper earlier this week.

Man, I almost feel like trekking down to Brooklyn to see some snow covered titties pissing off the locals. I hope they don't chicken out.
It's also funny how people all over other parts of the city have been complaining about these bike lanes, yet the most Jewish part of the city is the only complainer that got their wishes.
I wonder why?
