    Human Christmas Tree Spotted on Amsterdam Avenue

    A tipster who wishes to remain anonymous spotted this illuminated figure bicycling on Amsterdam Avenue at 86th Street on Wednesday night.

    Frankly we could use quite a bit more of this kind of weirdness.

    I just saw the mobile Christmas tree in Central Park heading south passed W. 90th St. Fabulous! Laughter and cheers among all the bystanders.

    Naples, FL. Saw a group of 20 biking down the main street with lights all over their bikes. Love lights on bikes. This person branched out & leaves us pining for more.

    Out of desperation not to get hit by car in long dark winter nights? Brilliant idea in any perspectives….

    This in all good humour – after reading the absurd comments re: the NYPD – is a brilliant way to get away from a crime:)
