Actual Central Park dialogue with a bike cop.

Submitted by RRosenthal on Fri, 06/01/2018 - 3:22pm

Scene: Central Park, West Drive, 6/1/18; 1:12PM. Two cops riding bikes side by side. Neither is wearing a helmet.

Q: I don't mean to be a smart aleck, but doesn't the department require you to wear a helmet?

A: Same as you. It's optional.

_____

Commentary: I tend to think the NYPD and the City's insurance policies state otherwise.

Cyclists collided Queensboro Bridge, Mon 5/28 midday - anyone there?

Submitted by nyccjohnw on Tue, 05/29/2018 - 7:47pm

Two cyclists collided on Memorial Day around midday on the Queensboro Bridge. One was wearing a yellow vest and white helmet. He had a white bike. He was taken away by the fire department EMS. 

If you have any information regarding this, or witnessed it, I would be grateful if you reached out to me.

Last year there was construction and detours on two major parts  of this route. This year the projects have all been completed and major sections have been repaved. Rode it on Friday.

I think I speak on behalf of all participants in acknowledging Jim's hard work in making the weekend a success. Also, thanks to Laine and Herb for the watermelon pit stop- great treat. Hope to see you all on the road soon.
