Have you ever been to Chicago, DC, Boston, San Francisco, etc.?
How about London and Paris?
IMO any cyclist who doesn't get it is either highly insulated or in denial.

I think you're looking for controversy where it doesn't exist.

Not looking for controversy. Just pointing out that NYC isn't that unique, either in sense of humor or bicyclist attitudes.

i think a cyclist that has a good head on their shoulders will get it, but the general reader that comes across it may struggle to get it/accept it.
