Bike Law Breakdown

A recent study concluded that many New York City bikers flaunt the city’s helmet and traffic laws. Almost 50% of children under 14 don’t wear helmets. As for adult cyclists, 57% ignore traffic lights and 14% don’t use designated bicycle lanes. No statistics were available regarding how many riders placed baseball cards in the wheel spokes with clothespins to make loud sounds exceeding noise limit regulations.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This blog is a quick comment on an older New York City news headline. Unforeseen NYCo site development delays prevented it’s publication before now. For readership continuity, 100’s of older headlines are to be posted in chronological order until this blog is current. Though some of the stories may no longer be as relevant as they once were, they remain interesting news items worthy of this site’s mention and viewer comments.
