Regarding bicycles with plates: they don’t need them, but they could use registration stickers. Where I went to undergrad it was required to register your bike. The only time people were cited for not having it is if they were pulled over for breaking traffic laws, which they heavily enforced for cars, motor bikes, and human powered bikes. The stickers, which are a PITA to remove once they’re on the bike, came in handy when the bikes were stolen.
I only go to Brooklyn Flea for food. The rest of that stuff I try and pick up at stoop sales during the spring and summer because the prices at Flea tend to be inflated from my experience.
bicycle’s with license plates, you gotta be kidding??????
and should we have registrations along with that as well???????
some free country this is…..
i agree. i love the brooklyn flea but honestly ive never bought anything but the food.
brooklyn flea is good for food – artists and fleas is good if you actually wanna buy something for less than $600 bucks.
Dave, your comment about the F/G train is naive at best.
I guess the starchitects in the Observer story are the purchasers in OBBP in yesterday’s big sales. It sounds like a great place, 18-ft ceilings and right on the park.
With apologies to CGar:
A. I still used my real name in college;
2. As I said, it is an out of state plate;
(iii) I haven’t needed training wheels in some time; and
FOURTH: No tassels or banana seat, but a nice, annoying tri-tone air horn.
Seriously, I get a kick out of all these hipsters buying used Schwinns. What happened to their old bikes? A good bike should last decades. Mine’s a decent Bianchi lightweight touring bike with 28 years on it.
Dave you can’t possibly think the city would have the ability or interest to enforce a bicycle license law?! The city can’t even enforce motor scooters without plates- there is no infrastructure to tow them. I have heard about people who just take their expired plates off when they park so that the city doesn’t know who to ticket!
