We'd burn Rome to get a bike lane on the mall.

It's the most asinine logic that being applied to the issues on the 16th St Mall- moving the buses off the Mall will magically improve the shopping options with numerous new retail options popping up because buses inhibit retail while bikes create retail (according to some undergrad's bullshit study on bikes on Larimer Street compared to Brighton Blvd). At least that's what I've gathered.
