Kudos to Radiohead for trying to reduce their carbon footprint on their transcontinental tour, but then again, who would want to live in a world where front row tickets to a Radiohead concert go unsold? The band had 50 front row tickets on sale on a first-come, first-serve basis at the Paris office of XL Recordings. The catch? You had to bike to get there. Somehow Parisians, from the country that brought you the frickin' Tour de France, didn't think it was worth it to bike for front row Radiohead tickets. As a result, there were 35 empty front row seats at the concert of the biggest band in the world in one of the world's premiere cities. I now think anyone who says they understand the French is a liar.[Gigwise]

There would have been a bike-gridlock if this was in NYC.
