The NYPD has been cracking down on bike riders who pedal on sidewalks in Chelsea and Gramercy. They issued 43 summonses in those neighborhoods during the last month, and about 90 percent of those ticketed were restaurant deliverymen, a police source tells the Post. The fine for riding on a sidewalk is $100.

Transportation Alternatives spokesman Wiley Norvell is all for it, calling the crackdown "enlightened enforcement. Targeting behaviors like sidewalk compared with the usual nuisance ticketing for functioning bells and lights, is definitely a step up." Trans Alt has been working to promote better behavior for cyclists, and Norvell tells us, "We've got our ever-expanding Biking Rules campaign which to date has distributed close to 50,000 pamphlets focusing on things like deterring sidewalk cycling."

So stay off the sidewalks, cyclists, and use the bike lanes--perhaps one day the NYPD will crack down on motorists who violate those.
