This isn’t subway news, but alternative transportation news is good enough. TIME’S UP!, the bicycle activist group best known for its Critical Mass protest rides and ongoing clash with the cops, may get kicked out of its 49. E. Houston Street headquarters. The group is asking the public for help, contact them at: savethetimesupspace@hotmail.com

From hero to victim: A strange, sad twist in the case of two firefighters hurt by a cab: One had just helped save a man who had fallen on subway tracks. [New York Post]
The L as lifeline: With all that nasty L train news recently, here's a piece that'll tug the heart strings. [Daily News via Observer's The Real Estate] And L is, of course, also for love.
Critical showdown: Next Friday is Critical Mass, so you'll have your monthly tussle between cyclists and cops. But with the NYPD floating the idea of a rule to require groups of 20 or more cyclists to get a permit, things could get interesting. [New York Post]
Take note on the R: A nicely told tale of a subway artist, who, if you ride the R in Manhattan and have a face full of character, may just present you with your portrait. [The Village Voice]
