Who could have seen this coming? Yesterday Laughing Squid posted this photo of an assemblage of all our favorite Times Square heroes at a Citi Bike rack on Centre Street, collectively enjoying the restorative effects of a nice, cost-free spin class. Elmo, who has in the past been accused of spewing anti-Semitic vitriol, and Spider-Man, who once attacked a mom, are both in attendance, so we're guessing this class was court-ordered.
