This story just off the wire actually goes beyond awesome. Arturas Zuokas, the Mayor of the Lithuanian town of Vilnius, has a message for inconsiderate motorist who park in bike lanes: park elsewhere or see your car become the victim of a monster truck show. Zuokas took to an armored troop carrier and crushed a luxury car located in on of the city’s bike lanes.

“I want to point that if you have a car and more money (it) does not mean that you can park it everywhere,” Zuokas said.

While the car smashing was a publicity stunt using an abandoned Mercedes, it is refreshing to see a city official stand with the cyclists over selfish motorists. Considering how quickly our City Council and staff cave to a small vocal minority of automotive apologists, we just might want to draft Arturas Zuokas for our next election!
