Riding up Adams Street this week, we realized not much had changed since we wrote about the pervasive illegal parking in the bike lane in front of the Marriott Hotel back in December. This time we were also struck by the number of cars parked one block closer to Tillary. Upon closer inspection, some of the offenders included cars with a handicapped permit, a court officer permit and a NYPD permit. Nice.

  1. An eye for an eye makes the commute inefficient. Of course bikers could do more to follow laws. But as this bike lane shows, the current system favors cars. And safety will always be the primary concern of someone pedalling amidst tons of moving metal. If the bikers had a viable alternative (realistic bike lanes), maybe this would not be an issue.

  2. Bicycle riders violate the laws mopre than anyone and I bet thier are a lot of bike people bitching about the cops here. 0820 is correct bikes have to obey all the traffic laws including stop signs and yeilding, they are the biggest crybabies. Give the cops a a break they do a dangerous job alot of u don’t have the balls to do for a lot less than they should be paid. Get over it, besides they are trying to get jobs in Long Island where they can get paid a decent salary and soon you will have 12.00 an hour cops and u will wish they came back

  3. Who is it that enforces public safety rules? The cops, stupid! If they are stopped from parking in the bike lanes, they could start to enforce other public saftey rules like ticketing bikers who constantly disobey public safety rules by not stopping at red lights and not signaling before turning. Bikers are supposed to follow the same traffic rules as cars, yet everytime I attempt to cross Jay street, I have to dodge bikes whose riders do not yield to pedestrians. Have you ever crossed in between parked cars instead of crossing in the pedestrian crosswalk? I am sure you have. Guilty of jaywalking! Stop hatin’ on the cops because they get to park wherever they want. As the CO’s tell the inmates who complain about dumb stuff, put “a ‘H’ on your chest and handle it.”
