A guy in NYC gets a ticket for not cycling in a bike lane (includes humourous antics).

This has been all over the net for the past 3 weeks or so, including on some of the major national paper sites... You're a bit late to the party!Do not write below this line. Office use only.0

Has it been in Cake Stop? If it has I missed it.

Harsh.. It was the first I'd heard of it, but maybe that is because I am not glued to the meeeejia all day long.0 -

I see. Posted and sunk like a stone. No wonder I missed it.Bobbinogs wrote:A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject - Churchill0 -
Quite a funny vid. Cop should have just given some words of advice I thought. But I suppose they see a few cyclists getting run over in a city like that..0

I think the main point to come out of it is that the cyclist shouldn't have been fined at all because hadn't done anything illegal.al2098 wrote:Quite a funny vid.

Just got back from riding London to Paris.
Group 2, i.e. 65 cyclists were about to be ticketed by Surrey police as "no-one had told the police that such a big group was cycling through Surrey"
Given all 5 groups had parked their cars (probably 100 cars in total) at Surrey police's sports and social club that morning, I bet the warden had a heart attack when he got to work on Thursday morning!0 -
Must have being a cycling hating policeman.0

I wonder who's behind this. I'd put money on the religous fundies who seem to be intent on dragging the west back to the bronze age.
HTF are you supposed to satirise the US when stuff like this is taken seriously?

This was mentioned in CW. It appears all may not be as it seems. She was not issued a ticket, has no badge number of the officer and interstingly the woman turns out to be a guru of guerilla marketing.0 -
Don't skirt the issue.0

I wasn't aware there was a law stating the police have to be informed if a group of cyclists are to ride through their county?0
