The Brooklyn Paper reports that the NYPD will begin a borough-wide bike crackdown in a few weeks. More moving violations will be issued for the the failure to obey traffic signs and signals, surpassing the speed limit, tailgating, and failure to signal before turning.

What about the crackdown on speeding drivers?
If I bicycle to work every day but keep running over geese and killing them, am I a good person or a bad person?
*A good person if you’re killing them to feed your hungry children and save airplanes*
Does your answer change if I carry an Atlantic Yards protest sign?
*Yes if you’re doing it to feed….(see above). No if you’re doing it to incite a riot. Much more likely) ;)*
Does it change back if I’m drinking non-fair trade McDonalds coffee?
* Is it good coffee? Can I have a sip?*
“(Did I really just group fsrg and bxgrl together?)”

PS My comments are related to the enforcement of the rules for biking in NYC. They are not related to blizzard and snow removal complaints. I leave that to others.
