NYPD Now Also Ticketing Bikers For Not Using Bike Lanes
Gothamist, April 26, 2011
So the NYPD is now letting the New York Post control its bike lane agenda? Yesterday Murdoch's minions ran an exhaustive piece on how bicyclists are not using misusing the bike lanes at the intersection of Lafayette and Prince Streets and wouldn't you know it, today the NYPD set up at that very intersection to ticket cyclists. Their crime? Not using the bike lane. Whether that is even illegal is besides the point.
Transportation Nation noticed the police stopping bikers on the street, at one point two at a time, and inquired about what was going on. “I was riding my bicycle … on the wrong side of the street,” biker Victor Velasquez told them, “and they gave me a ticket.”
More Police Nonsense in the Park
Well after several weeks of not seeing any silly police activity in the park, today a woman on a hybrid bike was getting a ticket...just after the light at the top of Harlem hill. We all know what a congested crosswalk that is. I see a pedestrian crossing there about twice a year. Moreover, there were four police cars there to give this woman a ticket.
Another cyclist was getting a ticket by the boathouse. Seems whenever I see a cyclist stopped there, its always by the young red headed cop with the buzz cut.

Twenty-five pioneering riders gathered in the pre-dawn hours at Union Square in Manhattan to set out on a century ride that ended in Westhampton Beach, NY.
