Bike Lanes

So in class hearing about the big lanes and how much controversy there was over it, I decided to look up what rights the Hasidic Jews had to tell the Hipsters that they were not allowed to bike through there neighborhood due to the way they dressed. After reading it over again and seeing everything that had been done, the Hasidic Jews had absolutely no right to say anything at all nor should they have the power to remove any bike lanes or public property. The bike lanes are their for the public to use and just because there is a high population of Jews in that area and they feel as if something is wrong, they have to live with that or move to a new area. The bike lanes have been in the city of New York since before people could remember and they are not going to be moved because one religion believes that certain people dress to provocatively through the area. If you look at pictures online these people aren't riding through in inappropriate clothing either to standards we see in our area, they are wearing tight biker shorts and tight workout shirts. So from my point of view the people in this area have no right to say anything and as long as they are not on their property the issue should be dropped and they should have to live with it or move to a new area.
