Brooklyn Cyclist

Cyclists are chafing at what some say is a ticket blitz on bike riders in downtown Brooklyn, focusing on the heavy intersection of Tillary and Adams, by the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge. “I have witnessed two sting operations set up at Tillary and Adams,” Park Slope resident Paul White, a personal injury lawyer and cyclist, tells the Brooklyn Paper “They were ticketing slews of people who were riding [outside the bike lane] on Adams.” New York law says cyclists “should” ride in a lane if one is available, except when making a turn or when the lane is blocked. But because of traffic congestion, the latter is often the case on Adams, and some cyclists say the NYPD is exploiting that.

I thought New York was going to be more fun as it went broke.
