Be warned all nYc riders....
NYC cops are now towing bikes that are parked on the sidewalks, no more tickets, They are calling flatbed trucks in and towing them away. They are checking plates, registration and inspections and giving tickets on anything that is out of order. They are also ticketing bikes that are sharing meters with cars.
I caught a cop (beat walker) bending my plate back today, he then said he was going to write me up a ticket for no inspection... I told him to look harder and you'll see my Valid Sticker, he then said its in the wrong place - BS they just don't know what the hell they are doing.
Long story short, instead of taking the nasty route I took the friendly way, flashed me DEA card and chatted with him. He told me about the crack down. Bike accidents are way up this year and there are a lot more bikes on the road these days and they think laws do not apply to them. So I guess the invisible mayor is trying to make more money so he can hire his cousins to do nothing
