NYPD Loves Bike Lanes!
I just had to take the time this morning to say how great it is to live in a city where the police love bike lanes as much as bikers do. They even use them on the job, just to show solidarity with commuters! It's like a mini-parade, and every day is Bicycle Safety Day.

There's actually an NYPD precinct that uses a bike lane for much of its parking lot. After Clinton Hill Blog & Gothamist & Streetsblog reported this, they parked properly and I sent in a photo to give the police some credit for listening and following the law. Unfortunately a week later (and to this day) they were parked in the bike lane again.

Get over themselves? Ha. You guys are clueless. Bikes have been around much longer than cars or subways.

I'm no cop lover but cops park wherever they need to for many valid reasons. There also seems to be ample space for you to get through. Now, if you had video of cops running red lights with no emergency…http://www.youtube.com/user/JimmyJustice4753
