Robbie,
Poetic license--like much of journalism. The problem is when they
invent "color" for their story, they don't expect readers to know.
"Teutonic fidelity!" WISCONSIN=MADISON=GERMAN, heck----PRINT. Even
Progressive Bob LaFollette was hardly Teutonic.

Now how did they manage to pick us as the paragon of using hand
signals and good path (although it appears they actually are referring
to bike lanes) behavior?

The City Room blog on the nytimes.com website had this to say
about us:
"In general, there is a certain lawlessness to the city’s paths that
would
be shocking to riders from, say, Madison, Wis., who tend to display a
Teutonic fidelity to hand signals."
