Fighting GWB/9W Tickets in Court

Submitted by tom_o on Thu, 08/23/2012 - 9:45am

Hi folks -

Regarding the bogus illegal left hand turn tickets issued in late June/early-July on 9W for those headed onto the GWB, has anyone gone to court for these yet? The outcome?

I've tried to keep up here on the message board, but haven't found any relevant threads. If I missed one, could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I can’t wait for this year’s Golden Apple.

                Labor Day Sunday, I’ll be riding with my elder son, and nephew, who’s coming up from Manhattan on the train. It will be one of the highlights of my cycling season. Make it one of your high points too.

                It’s a good time to invite family and friends for a day on some the world’s most resplendent cycling terrain. Be sure to wear your WCC colors too – any of our shirts, old and new.

Check out these wonderful portraits* of cyclists at Summer Streets. Photographer Dmitry Gudkov was set up outside Bicycle Habitat taking portraits, which are visible here:

Also take a look at his Web site, which has a nice carousel of cyclist portraits:

*Disclosure: Batch includes yours truly, who will usually not allow photos to be taken; this photog has cleared that hurdle.

 

He also took these cyclist/dog photos, which have me in stitches:

B18 CP Laps at 6AM Thursday, Aug. 23rd

B18's -

If you are interested in early morning laps in Central Park, check the Ride Listing for tomorrow's ride.

Yep, it's early and a little dark at the Boat House start, but will become a beautiful, sunny day. Something worth getting up for.

We leave promptly from the Boat House at 6AM. If you interested, register and set your alarm.

Passed away a few days ago. His son set up a memorial page on facebook.

I'm lucky enough to own one of his mirrors, a work of art of sorts.

RIP Chuck.
