CYCLING HAZARDS


A tipster told us he was pulled over by a police patrol car down in Tribeca yesterday afternoon for running a red light on his bike and given a $150 ticket! If that wasn't bad enough, the po-po slapped him with a $50 fine for not having a bell on his bike to boot.

Has anyone ever heard of such nonsense? Ideas? Suggestions? I've heard of fines for riding on the sidewalks but this seems a bit far-fetched. Also, anyone have an extra bell for my bike?
