Urbanities has previously noted the unctuous, overweening self-regard of Bay Area bicycle activists, so we were vastly amused at the howls of outrage that greeted the Preliminary Injunction issued by Superior Court Judge James Warren that enjoined the City from implementing the Bike Plan until an environmental review is conducted.

Apparently, bicycle activists consider themselves above the law. They feel that it is so self evident that bicycles are an unmitigated good and cars an umitigated evil that the City should not be subject to the laws that require they take into account the effect that making traffic-related changes (we hesitate to call them improvements) for bicyclists at the expense of automobiles will have. Bicycle activists have accomplished this by getting themselves appointed to positions within city government where they can literally rubber stamp every bicycle-friendly proposal into existence without due process.

Kudos to Rob Anderson, the Coalition for Adequate Review and 99 Percent for exposing the FUBU (for us, by us) way that activists in San Francisco get laws passed to favor their pet agendas.
