This can only be good news. The about-to-be-appointed Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is a cyclist. Hopefully one of the victim-blaming crashes where a biker gets crushed by a car and then given a ticket for not having a front light will get to the high court. Then she could decree a Rule by Bicycle law where you’d get free drinks at coffee shops and bars as long as you biked there.

“She’s a very human person,” Schumer told reporters after their meeting. They talked New York, he said. “She’s a bicycle rider, I’m a bicycle rider. We talked a little bit about our favorite routes.”

It’s also nice that she’s human and not a robot. Thanks, Chuck Schumer.
