In bicycle retailers news there was a mention of a draconian Bylaw that was presented to NYC Council, it is Bill #497, Nov.22. The Bylaw is saying that anyone over age 16 in NYC (or visiting NYC with a bike), will require a License and the License tags must be displayed at all times on the bike. Anyone without a License & or without their tags displayed get all 3 of the following (not one or two of the 3, but all 3). 15 days in jail-a cash fine-confiscation of their bike.
Same city council last month banned e-scooters and took a shot at banning e-bikes. Same City Council is having a problem trying to figure out a solution to car gridlock....duh
Next Critical Mass and no License Tags and the cops will be lining up buses to take away the cyclists.
I wonder what driving a car without a license gets?
I bet its less.
Cars kill 10 pedestrians a year in NYC - just on the sidewalks.
But to read the NYC papers, you would think bicyclists are slaughtering pedestrians by the dozens.
