    I have a cousin who once said that he’s gotten more tickets on a bike in Manhattan than anytime he’s driven through the city. He then followed that with, “in fact, I’m pretty sure that as long as you don’t hit anything that pays or collects taxes, the police will tell you to go away because you’re interrupting the flow of traffic.”

      How tf do you get a ticket on a bike? Just hop on the sidewalk and down an alley or two and nobody’s going to catch you.

        I ride in the parks after curfew bylaw and we pretend they’ve done their job for a moment where they “chase” me to an alley they can’t drive through and I wait for them to fuck off for 2 minutes.
