A cyclist is demanding change after a wire strung across Lincoln Memorial Drive by an Orthodox Jewish group fell and struck him in the neck.

Rabbi Yisroel Lein, of Chabad of the East Side, said the wire was repaired quickly, and he will abide by any changes Milwaukee County officials dictate about the placement of the wire. It is part of a miles-long perimeter of cables around Milwaukee's east side that Lein said is inspected weekly.

The eruv, as the perimeter is called, eases Orthodox Jewish residents' Shabbat restrictions. It's a response to a Torah law that prohibits carrying items outside a private space such as a home on Saturdays. The perimeter acts as a symbolic boundary that extends the "home" to the broader neighborhood, allowing Orthodox families to push strollers, walk dogs and carry bags.
