One of my “bucket list” items is to get a speeding ticket...on my bicycle.

Glad to hear that there isn’t any real crime in New York City. Sounds like they could lay off a large part of the police department.

This week I was in NYC for three nights. The NY State and NYC tax on my hotel room was $120.

Police brass -- who are currently pushing a widespread crackdown on unlawful cyclists......

Yes, because that's the biggest concern the NYPD should have.

” He said, ‘You’re not allowed to carry a purse on your handlebars.’ “

The most dangerous five words in the English Language - “There oughtta be a law...”

” “Don’t worry, you can go to court. The judges always throw these out.” “

Just, wow - leaves ya breathless, don’t it??

In the meantime, she's now so paranoid about getting pulled over while pedaling that she keeps her eyes extra "peeled" for police and has traded her tote for a backpack.

Well... then that policeman's mission is accomplished. Behavior successfully modified.

If, like she's stated, she intends to fight this, she shouldn't be changing anything she does.

Face it, you can’t name 5 things in this country the government doesn’t outright control or heavily influence. This is a tyranny we live in. Sorry.

I guess the cops have to take a break from shooting peoples’ dogs

New York. I’m so grateful that I’m out of that shithole... forever.

Courageous.
Where do we find such men who risk it all to serve and protect?

With all the crime in Zoo Yawk City, this is what they come up with? More utter blue state insanity.

“’You’re not allowed to carry a purse on your handlebars.’”

Wow, where I now live, my bicycle is my only vehicle.
I am going between my beach house, a second house, and market numerous times a day.
I ALWAYS have heavy plastic bags hanging from my handlebar.
I carry everything from wine to diapers.

Apparently the rate of handbag on handlebar accidents have reached such an intolerable level that it can no longer be ignored.

I think police are cracking down for the revenue. Local police here wrote over 1000 tickets in the last month for seat belt violations.

Apparently I’m the only person among you illuminati who asked the question as to what she was going to do with the 4 year old on the bike in NYC? Put the kid in the tote bag? Strap her to her back? Drag her home behind the bike?
You boys are slipping!

She was going to pick up her child at nursery school.

Was the child going to ride on the handlebars too?

She should be happy to be contributing to the swell salary, great pension, and gold-plated lifetime healthcare benefits of a member of the Holy Trinity of the Left - the “heroes” of the Police, Firefighters & Teachers Public Unions...

said she nearly lost her balance when the cop asked for her driver's license.

You need a DL for a bicycle?
