ok now lets understand one thing. u cant ride on the sidewalks anymore. ull be getting tickets or summonses left and right. nyc has changed. bike is like a car now. a nuisance. i ride and fear everytime. i fear other vehicles, road rage, police quotas, and theft. might as well just walk lol or Rollerblade. and even that soon will be somehow illegal.
@dk038967 the more people on bikes, the less car problem. however, it will be a long time before then. the nyc police are just a bunch of bored, looking-for-trouble pigs. tickets for riding a bike on the sidewalk? yes, the bike should be just as respected as a car, but it is alot more versatile than a car and that should be acknowleged too. in the bronx, i ride on the sidewalks, in my area, the cops are rarely around, but i found out from a fellow local biker that the cops were issuing tickets.
@MartyredxMaiden It's true that cops issue tickets for sidewalk riding as well as running red lights (personal experience here!). This is an age old debate with cycling - to be treated equally with cars or to be given extra exceptions. I think everyone can agree that bikers should be respectful of everyone around them and deserve equal respect but beyond that it gets very heated very quickly. Let's not get into it here! -Peter

@NYCdude321 You usually don't. I just take me bike wherever I go, I have not owned a lock in 10 years. -BC

@dk038967 I can see them crack down on roller bladers as well. Maybe on lil' old ladies on fast walkers too while were at it. BC

Nice! The Brompton following is definitely on the rise. I see more of these guys in New York City every day.
Did you get a 3 speed PlaystationLounge?

I think the Brompton has a bigger following in the US than even here in the UK!
I got mine a few weeks ago and I'm in love with it. Oh, and it's orange like the one in this video... :)
