Tehran Motorcyclists Declare Themselves Immune to Panic

As Tehran's streets devolve into gridlocked misery, a defiant tribe of motorcyclists has declared itself "above the panic." Zooming between frozen lanes of sedans and crying toddlers, these bikers�dubbed "The Lane Whisperers"�have turned evacuation into a slalom event. "Traffic is an illusion," said one helmeted rider before vanishing between two buses like a caffeinated whisper. Most motorcyclists claim they haven't stopped moving since Monday. Their only needs: gasoline, adrenaline, and a playlist called 'Escape from Tehran Vol. 2.' City officials have tried to slow them with cones and warnings, but the bikers just wheelie over both. Some say these riders are now delivering supplies, love letters, and hot yogurt to stranded motorists. Others believe they're just showing off. One biker was spotted throwing peace signs and pistachios at stationary drivers before shouting, "I am the law of velocity!" and vanishing into a haze of exhaust. SOURCE: http://bohiney.com
