There they go again, burying poor old Vélib.

 

<http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kbTo-M_pSuw/Suv_MWDTWRI/AAAAAAAAB7c/1dxbNj7Oygg/s1600-h/babe-ruth.jpg>  <http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kbTo-M_pSuw/Suv_MWDTWRI/AAAAAAAAB7c/1dxbNj7Oygg/s1600-h/babe-ruth.jpg>  <http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kbTo-M_pSuw/Suv_MWDTWRI/AAAAAAAAB7c/1dxbNj7Oygg/s1600-h/babe-ruth.jpg> The New York Times is generally doing a yeoman's job of providing useful investigative coverage and commentary on the environment-climate-new mobility front. And for that we all are most grateful. However in this tough game no one goes ten for ten at bat, and in this article today on Vélib they have really missed the ball. Guess we have to be a bit careful concerning about what we read in the paper (Streets included, of course)

Before you dig into their piece however, let me draw a handful of earlier reports on just this which are a lot closer to having their facts straight. (And by the time that you get to the Time's Halloween piece below, you surely have to wonder what the fuss is all these months later. Strike three on this one NYT. But you will have plenty more Times at bat.)
