Some bicycle-loving Brooklyn residents are furious about the city's recent decision to eliminate a bike lane in Williamsburg. (It was done to appease members of the neighborhood's ultra-Orthodox community, who objected to the spandex-clad cyclists in their midst, apparently.) The biking enthusiasts aren't standing down, though.

They're planning a "Freedom Ride" tomorrow to protest the decision, which will involve cruising through Williamsburg topless. Needless to say, the one thing they forgot to do was check the weather report, since a few inches of snow and freezing cold temperatures are expected. Then again, if snow doesn't prevent postmen from their appointed rounds, it sure isn't going to stop a mob of angry hipster activists, is it?
