33 Cyclists Summonsed by Police on 9W Yesterday

Here's the link, story pasted in below. http://gothamist.com/2013/09/01/ticketing_blitz_of_cyclists_extends.php Will be interesting if they really do outfit the PIP cops with bikes! New York City cyclists can't escape the ticketing blitz in New Jersey: the Palisades Interstate Parkway Police handed out at least 33 summonses to cyclists on Route 9W yesterday. “I’ve been racing 34 years. This is my first ticket,” a Queens resident and ticketed cyclist told The Record. The paper says that cops were out on the popular biking route for four hours, ticketing cyclists for "speeding, not wearing a helmet, or biking through a red light." It's unclear what sort of helmet citation the police handed out, as it's legal for cyclists over the age of 17 to ride without one.

Are bike shops the new Starbucks?

Can't hurt to sign it. Seems like a possilby decisive vote is coming up at the end of September (that is, if they approve the current Parks plan, the work may proceed)
