Hartford City Government to install white-only bike racks
ok, not literally. but they are planning on installing these things, and it’s pretty clear who it’s aimed at. this shit is so crazy. hartford does NOT need bike racks, but it would be nice if the streets were more bike-friendly. as a former bike messenger, i can tell you there are PLENTY of good spots all over downtown to park your bike, and the rest of the city is just fine. sign posts, fences, etc etc etc.
the only reason i can think of why the City government would be wasting its time and money (which is the only thing the mayor/council are good at) is to entice more yuppies to spend time/move to the city. cuz, ya know, hartford ain’t nothin if it ain’t white. let me reiterate, bike racks are completely and utterly unnecessary. a little creativity is called for at times, but shit, come on yuppies. use some of that 4 year college indoctrination for something useful for once.
downtown is ripe for a good riot, and these racks will make useful material for barricades.

I didn’t know we were so severely lacking in fences and telephone poles. I’m glad the city is doing something about that instead of their inaccessible library.
