      Thanks for doing this! My block association has been talking about doing a neighborhood watch type thing but it hasn't taken off yet. Stay safe!

      Yo Rocket! Great job, you are an inspiration.

      In order to avoid duplicate posts, let me just sticky this to the front page of brooklynian. That way you can update it and everyone can see the great work you are doing.

      Hello everyone, this idea of my of creating the bike patrol is starting to pick up steam. People been very nice and gracious and very supportive. When people see us at subways stations they been asking us to escort them home. But we need more volunteers. I will be @ Grand Army Plaza tonight at 730pm like I do every night. We have t-shirts bearing our name (Brooklyn Bike Patrol) they also have the Saint Francis church sports logo who was so great to donate these t-shirts They are bright yellow with black letters front and back! If you want to volunteers bring bring your driver license and need to have a cell phone. You must also agree to let all information we take will be shared with the 72nd precinct and any other precinct in the area. Hope I get a big turn out tonight. The feeling I get when I walk someone home safe is priceless!

      Haha...and the wife chimes in.

      Are any of the volunteers single? There should be an option for women to request a single guy

      But seriously, this is a great thing they are doing. I've passed the info on to my female friends who weren't already aware of it. Don't be shy about calling, ladies--they are happy to help.

      Brooklyn Cops Offer Helpful Anti-Rape Clothing Advice
      A series of sexual assaults in the South Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn have residents scared. The cops' solution: don't wear skirts.

      ....Yada yada cops told some ladies not to wear skirts because they would be targeted which is stupid, but we know that already...

      On the bright side, one Jay "Rocket" Ruiz has taken matters into his own hands. He's organized the Brooklyn Bike Patrol, whose volunteers escort women home from 11 subway stations. He says, "We just want to get people home safe." He tells the Journal that his name is a "stage name," so it's hard to say who his mild-mannered alter ego is, but my money is on someone with glasses.
