Dorothy Rabinowitz, an editorial board member for the Wall Street Journal, disparaged New York City’s recently launched bike-share program.
“Do not ask me to enter the mind of the totalitarians running this government of the city,” Rabinowitz said when asked what she thought was the motivation behind the program.
The program is privately funded, with Citi Bank serving as the chief sponsor. Rabinowitz argued that her sentiments represent “the majority of citizens,” saying that the blue bicycles that have dotted the city since the program launched last week have “begrimed” some of New York’s most scenic neighborhoods.
