New York’s finest – as in the NYPD – are apparently putting the city’s robust bike lane infrastructure to good use. However, the police aren’t riding on the bike lanes. They are using the bike lanes for parking. We previously witnessed this first hand for a few years, but the problem has grown so big that someone has launched a Thumblr blog that tracks it.
The website Cops in the Bike Lanes, noted: Rules of the City of New York, ยง 4-08 (e)(9): “It is against the law to park, stand or stop within or otherwise obstruct bike lanes.”
To serve and protect indeed!
