why crack down on cyclists in the middle of winter?
I’m not surprised that the NYPD is cracking down on cyclists. What puzzles me is why they’d do it in the dead of winter. Here’s my theory:
Per the WSJ, it was JSK and Sanitation Commissioner Doherty’s job to decide to declare a snow emergency: http://j.mp/e4B2HI
According to the Post (biased, but not the habit of fabricating quotes), JSK passed the buck to Ray Kelly: http://j.mp/i70DeX
(Heads need to roll over the blizzard, never mind that you don’t need to declare emergency to staff up or put on chains.)
So now Kelly’s boys take it out on on JSK’s pets, the urban cyclists, despite it being winter, when most cyclists are on the subway.
