The new York City Dot announced today the Bedford Avenue bike lane from Division to Flushing avenue will be removed. According to the DOT it is part of 'an ongoing adjustment'.  No additional comment.

The bike lane was part of an on-going contention between bike riders and the Hasidic community in Williamsburgh. In past months complaints have been raised about the loss of parking, scantily scad cyclists, especially on Saturday) and the loss of business by retail stores along the route. Cyclists have complained that drivers have harassed cyclists along the route.

Jon Pastir, a manager at Bicycle Habitat, was sadly disappointed, as this had been part of his daily commute to Manhattan.
