what my piece is, is that women should be able to adorn themselves w/ what they please. all people should. regardless of one (or several) persons beliefs, america... and i'm pretty sure new york is included in that, is a free place. a place where celebration of individuality and expression is upheld boldly and proudly. i realize that that's a lot of "ly," but, thats the best part: ladies need alternatives to riding their bicycles in outfits other than such:
this sort of costuming can cause overheating & exhaustion, which could result in dehydration, unconsciousness and eventually death. this is not regarding the fact that flailing black vestements don't fair well with wheels and spinning gears, regardless of how many gears a ladies spinning.
ultimately, if an hasid or any other religion has a problem with women affixing themselves to bicycles and dressing in airy clothing that allows them to vogue as well as leave a small carbon footprint, then perhaps, instead of throwing on extra clothes to keep a strict doctrine for a few minor outlying citizens, perhaps these citizens can learn to accept that a large part of society doesn't give a single god-fearing fuck about their epic biblical beliefs. in comparison to the iliad or the odyssey, their books are filled with just as much mythology & mischief as anyone can handle, and there is no particular reason that the rest of society should adhere to such fictional fundamentalism.
