Ha, those hippie bicycle advocates at Streetfilms just made one of their propaganda videos about how everyone in NYC should form a bloodthirsty cyclist army to ride over Post columnist Steve Cuozzo's well-heeled feet. This one features your typical spandex hipster cycling Nazi showing off her tattoos on her fixed gear bike in Bushwick. Or actually it's a profile of a firefighter who commutes everywhere by bike. In Queens. Her name is Sarinya Srisakul, and she's blasting some people's reductive cyclist stereotypes out of sight with a fire hose.

The best part is when she explains how she carries all her gear with her on her back when she gets sent to other firehouses, which everyone thinks is "absolutely nuts." Srisakul explains, "Good thing I don't really care what other people think. Otherwise I wouldn't be a firefighter, either." Somewhere, off in the distance, Cuozzo's head just exploded.
